Boarding sixth form for anorexic DD?

[julieah]

I've homeschooled my DD for a few years as we pulled her out of school due to anxiety/anorexia. She's been following the english curriculum and wants to go back to school for sixth form to prepare for university etc. But we live in Scotland and none of the few english curriculum schools are near enough us. So I'm looking at boarding but every school seems to offer the same thing, i would feel better sending her away if the school had good pastoral care and is more structured than a college as i don't want her relapsing as soon as she gets away from home! She's fairly bright and will probably get As in her GCSEs but isn't especially sporty. My other DD went all through the state school system so i'm completely lost here. I'd also prefer if it didn't leave me bankrupt but that's flexible! Thank you!

Yes Poppy. It seems a missed opportunity that the OP works in schools in Scotland yet seems not to have familiarised herself with the system.

OP I have reported you thread to MNHQ I’m not doing this to be unkind but you have given so many details about your DD’s life that I feel she could be recognised by those that know her and she is entitled to confidentiality.
I’m also beginning to wonder if this is a troll and there are so many discrepancies.
If this is genuine then I’m sorry if I’m beginning to disbelieve you but I don’t think getting advise from a random bunch of stranger on the internet is the best way forward for you or your DD. You must be under the care of CAMHs I’m under no illusions the system isn’t perfect but they know your situation and your DD the are the best people to seek advise from. Good luck.

And there are no Sixth Form Colleges in Scotland. You can go to College to sit Highers etc, but it will be a place full of all sorts of ages, and courses.

Appearing as a novel near you soon...
