School has nothing for my son in last week of term can I remove him?

[spababe]

The last week of the Summer term is earmarked for work experience. However my son has secured a work experience place at a prestigious company in the previous week which is the only week this company run their work experience programme. Thus he has nothing to do in the last week of term. There are no lessons. His classmates are out doing work experience. Other school years are on activities.
I have asked if I can home educate him for the last week only and take him on some trips eg to the science museum in London but the school has said no and that he has to do a second week of work experience somewhere which obviously we have not got set up.
Any advice? wwyd?

If the school want him to do a second week of WE, I'd leave it up to them to organise.

And if it ends up being boring filing or box stacking, in contrast to the previous week, at least, as Bertrand points out, it'll incentivise him to aspire to a better working environment, together with the qualifications required

Old people's home he could do work experience in. You would have to find somewhere who would accept him.

"If the school want him to do a second week of WE, I'd leave it up to them to organise."

The school want him to do one week of WE, on the specified dates.

That the family has chosen to organise a second week (on different dates) doesn't cancel the basic school requirement. And there's still 3 months in which to organise it.
