Any advice on whether to get a diagnosis of ADHD ?

My child is 13 and in year 9. Last month she was placed on head of year report and has been getting bad scores and comments on it since. You have to get it signed every lunch and my child notified me that her head of year said she was concerned about her and told her to come in a room for a chat when she broke down in tears and said she couldn’t help it and she hates getting in trouble. She then started asking questions about her concentration and how she sleeps etc. I got a phone call yeastersay telling me this and that she’s asked teachers to observe her and so far they are convinced she has it , they say it’s become more apparent now due to the chatty ness. What do I do ?

Our school was fully on board with private diagnosis Foxy. May be that's what helped. Learning support identified she needed a lap top almost straight away. May have helped that they appreciated inadequacy of camhs.
