4 year old STILL potty training

I’ve been potty training my daughter since she was 2. She’s now 4years 3 months and still regularly having both wee and poo accidents. She’s at school and comes home every day either in wet/soiled underwear or in schools spare clothes from where she’s had accidents. She seems perfectly content to just remain in wet or soiled underwear. Nothing seems to get her to want to use the toilet - we’ve tried charts, rewards, everything; you name it, we’ve tried it. I am absolutely at the end of my tether with it. I don’t know whether I should be speaking to the GP as my daughter often says she doesn’t know she needs to go but then she tells me she’s lying and she was just too busy. She also just doesn’t listen to me at all and often just screams in my face when I ask her to go to the toilet. Please please please, absolutely any advice is welcome!!

You says at school? What do they think??

Im in the same boat honestly. I thought at one point hes potty trained as we've enjoyed dry pants.. then by august he regressed. Hes fine with poo its the wee. Sometimes he say he needs to wee after he done a wee.. sometimes he gets it right. Theres no consistency and ive tried everything! Ive officially lost it today Confused ive made myself a coffee and decided when he have accidents i'll chill and make myself coffee. Hes 3.9 btw.

We have a system. When his pants are wet he'll remove it put it in laundry basket go upstairs and get a fresh one wear it himself.. takes 15 min atleast and hes now comfortably got it into his routine Confused

Tell the school nurse.
Is there anything about school or their toilets that might make her reluctant to use them, or is it at home too ?
