Support for Year 10

DD 14 has been suffering with migraine for the past few years. She regularly misses 2 days school at a time, every 10-14 days although it has been more frequent recently and her symptoms are worsening. She is on medication which has been ineffective so far, she has regular consultant appointments.
I'm concerned about the impact on her education. School have said they will send work home but currently only 1 teacher does this.
I am looking for financial aid for a tutor if anyone is aware of any funds that might be available, we are in the East Midlands.
I am also considering home educating alongside school. If anyone can point me in the right direction to resources they have found beneficial, please can you reply. TIA

Have you spoken to the local authority? They may be able to point you in the direction of an alternative provision (a similar thing happened to my niece but this is going back to pre-covid now). There are online schools as well which would be worth looking into

I've sent an email but it doesn't look like we qualify looking at the website they have directed me too. They seem to give support to kids who have had 15 days out of school whereas my DD is only out for 2-3 at a time.
I'm waiting to hear from the school SENCO to try and get something sorted before the summer break.

It's 15 days total not 15 days in a row.
