Moving dd out of school in this point of year 11 and doing photography gcse as a private entrant?

[PossumInAPearTree]

I've posted before under a previous name about my depressed/suicidal dd and I really think I'm going to have to take her out of school.

Dd is open to this idea and would like to move to a different school to get away from bullies and try and make some friends as currently she has none.

What's worrying dd is her photography gcse. The potential new school don't do it. I know someone said previously about doing it as a private entrant. Is this really possible with photography when there's so much coursework. Dd says they're getting a new blank project book after Xmas but I have no idea what she would need to put in it. Are there any resources to guide me to what she needs to do? She is going to talk to her photography teacher tomorrow and ask as well.

Urgh. The behaviour of those girls sounds really quite ridiculously juvenile. Kind of thing we get in year 8 or 9 but usually completely grown out of by year 11. Kids are either friends or not. They don't usually rib each other for shopping with parents! It would be good if she could continue to see the sixth form group occasionally. Maybe a plea to school to try and facilitate that?

It does sound like her options are limited if she won't consider retaking year 10. It might be the best option to focus, like a pp suggested, on looking on X weeks until Christmas then x weeks until Easter, then it's nearly exams - and she'll never have to see them again.

The school is making the girl suicidal!! She needs to be out of there like yesterday everything else is secondary to that.
