Offsiting / Alternative Provision in Year 10

alittlelost2022 · 13/12/2022 18:18

My Son has recently been offsited to a PRU, has anyone had any expereince of this? Both schools are very reluctant to give me any information on the rationale and duration. I have written to the school, emails have been ignored. I have raised a formal complaint to the Executive Headteacher but still had no clarity. SEN have been missed by the school and I consider my son to be vulnerable for a number of reasons, absent father, some substance abuse, etc. He has had behaviour issues but only in the last few months.

The absence of any clartiy is causing anxiety, stress and affecting my mental health.
Has anyone been through this process who could share how it should look like and what I can do to appeal to give him a second chance in a mainstream school?
I have today contacted by MP and the Council who deal with exclusions etc.

Many thanks and sorry for teh ramble.

This guidance may be useful: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/942014/alternative_provision_statutory_guidance_accessible.pdf

The school should be following it. Nobody here can tell you whether they are or aren't based on the minimal info you've given. Your local authority may publish some local guidance too - google it

If you raise concerns or formally complain to the school, be clear about what your expectations are, quoting from the guidance if necessary. If complaining formly, follow the.school's complaints procedure to the letter. Be calm and reasonable - if you throw blame around irrationally you will lose credibility.
