Registering while child suspended

[LittleGreyElephant]

Hi, my child is now facing suspension after lashing out at his bully following two years of targeted bullying for simply being too different (adhd and autism)
enough is enough and we're going to deregister and put his mental health first. Can I deregister while on a suspension? (Primary school)

Is this the child who took scissors in and threatened some pupils with them?

You can generally deregister a child at any time and the school cannot refuse, but there are some exceptions. The child having an EHCP is one, I believe.

Nothing to do with scissors. Threw a bag which hit the other child.

It seems unlikely that the suspension is simply for throwing a bag which hit another child especially at primary school.

You can generally deregister a child from school at any point unless they are on a SAO, send register or attend a specialist provision but it would be prudent to understand if this is in their best interests or if it's a knee jerk reaction.

Oh believe me I know it seems unlikely, but here we are.
definitely not knee jerk reaction we've been researching options for 18 months

My point was there is clearly more to it. A school, especially a primary school wouldn't suspend a child from just throwing a bag even if intentional.

If you've been thinking about it for a year and a half what's stopped you before now, there's clearly a barrier that's been in the way or you would have made the change already?

Yes, a child who is at mainstream school in England or Wales can be deregistered immediately upon demand. Suspensions are not relevant.

(For the record, having an EHCP or statement also makes no difference to the process. Previous posters are mistaken about that.)

Teachers here please advise: I understand you can take him/her out for a short while whilst you investigate with council what options you have. Some schools just are not helpful or wise. But pulling him out may lead you having to homeschool him for years, given the current lack of resources. My cousin has recently done that with her 12 year old, he has an ECHP but the bullying is painful (He gets lego therapy but no SNA). The big question is what differential treatment does an EHCP lead to? Is it the current teacher, school approach, context, or particular peers that is not suited to his needs?

Teachers matter. My son had some years when literally his autism 'vanished" because a very calm, intuitive, clear teacher with predictable instructions was so good for him, or one that used music to transition from one task to the next, and gave him special tasks to do which he loved.

Check Peer influence: At age 13, an observant dinner lady noticed he was spending three times as much as usual. We worked out it was to feed a gang of 3 who pressured him - one had already stolen from local shops. I approached the police in anticipation and they agreed with his vulnerability and secretly had the negatively influential boy removed from his class.

I'm so sorry for the pain this causes you all as a family, having spent many hours often overnight writing cases for our son. At 7 years old, he was suspended for 'refusing to follow the teacher's instructions as it was a safety hazard' & refused to get him assessed as he was 'too bright, just naughty'. This was because he: curled up in ball with his hands on his ears; was bullied by peers, but never violent, & excluded from parties; found transitions, changes & group work painful. So we moved him to a new school, with a great SENCO. I cut and pasted the previous school comments to form the perfect ASD definition - which got approved in 6 weeks - resulting in SNA help 21 hours a week. Our son eventually got a 2:1 psychology degree and is now loving being an SNA himself in a special school. But I often hear things are not any better, if not worse. This is why I'm trying to help campaigns to get more AuDHD help in schools - but no idea how! (JadersMagic and Matthew Lock Adhd charity).
