How to deal with teen being isolated/bullied

Am at my wits end. DD2 is 15/yr 10. She has mild ASD and anxiety. She does struggle with friendships but has had a solid best friend and small close friendship group.
A few weeks ago her best friend decided she wanted to go out on the weekend with a different friend without DD and told her so quite bluntly and cruelly. DD was understandably upset but sucked it up. However since then BF has got upset because DD was upset basically telling her she has no right to be upset and has upset her. She has managed to turn the whole group against her and they have actively excluded and isolated her.
School has been awful for her for last week or so.
She has tried to talk to them to resolve things but they constantly told her that it's her fault BF is upset and ignored her/moved away from her in class/not let her sit with them at lunch etc.
I know there are always 2 sides and DD can be blunt and fixed in her manner but I genuinely don't believe she has done anything to deserve this.
She has been so upset and distressed and has had to be forced to school.
I have spoken to HOY who basically shrugged.
I don't know how to help her.

Could you try her tutor? Or does the school have welfare staff? It's not ok for them to shrug and ignore it.
