Considering home education for my Year 7 DD

I think I may need to pull my Yr7 DD out of school and home educate her. I did this for 3 months at the end of Yr6 due to her simply not thriving in a school with mutliple issues. But she was keen to go to her chosen secondary last September, and it started well. She is struggling again now for similar reasons (friendship issues, disruptive behaviour, quality of teaching etc).

Can anyone home educating their Yr7-11 DC offer any advice? I've looked as far ahead as taking GCSE's independently. I'm worried about the social impact as she's always been shy and reserved, but she does a lot of extra curricular activities that she will continue. This is not a decision I will take lightly. It's just so hard seeing her so unhappy.

There is a home ed board on MN which maybe more helpful.

No advice on homeschooling but from a mental health perspective, go with your gut. You will work out all the ins and outs in time.

Thank you. I think my gut feelings are what started me thinking about doing it again. She's starting to shut down and just 'exist/survive' like before. Home educating brought my happy girl back!
