Managed Move failure

[LeoDiCapricorn]

Does anyone have advice for when a high school managed move fails. The move is based around poor attendance and school refusal at school A no issue with behaviour.

My child is on a managed move to school B but their attendance is poor due to depression and anxiety. They are on 74% attendance since September which includes a holiday of 8 days booked 2 years ago when child was at school A which had different holidays.

School A is still the main registered school but has no pastoral support for students and child struggles with bullying there and refused to attend.

We have a meeting at school B on Friday with school A attending I think they will refuse to take my child on a permanent move due to poor attendance
Child is under CAMHS for counselling and is prescribed medication for depression.

If school A & B refuses my child where can we go?
Thanks for any advice

Is anyone at CAMHS prepared to give a letter certifying that your child is unable to attend for medical reasons?

Sorry, that was in relation to original OP - just clocked someone else has asked a question. As people have pointed out, you really need to start a new thread.

If the school offered is more than 3 miles away the council must arrange transport which should normally take a maximum of 1 hour 15 each way: they can't leave your daughter to take the buses given the length of time of the journey. If she couldn't get there within 1 hour 15 minutes even with something like taxi transport provided, then the LA must find an alternative. Refer them to paragraph 34 of the official guidance - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/575323/Home_to_school_travel_and_transport_guidance.pdf

In the meantime, point out to the local authority that, if they can't provide a school place that your child can access in a reasonable time, then they should be making alternative arrangements for education under section 19 Education Act 1996, for example by home tutors or something like a hospital school.

The LA doesn't have to provide its own transport just because the school is over 3 miles away, but they must pay the costs. They could meet that by simply providing a bus pass. However, as @Quiverer says, if the journey is over 75 minutes each way it is unreasonable, and they should find a place nearer home.
