In-Year Moving during Year 12?

Is it possible to move schools in year 12? DD in year 12 is desperately unhappy in her current 6th form.
She had to move schools, as her old school did not have a 6th form and we found what we thought a nice countryside school for her that offered her choice of courses. It turned out to be a bad choice for her. Every day is an ordeal to persuade her to go to school, every night she is crying and asking not to have to go the next day.
At the same time she is producing good grades and talented in her subjects. I don’t want to just take her out with nowhere to go. I tried to phone schools that have her course combinations and exam boards, but there are no options to accept a student except for starting again at year 12.
Are there any loopholes?

Could you look into her completing year 12 in an online school or with tutors supporting independent study and then the other school for year 13? I would have thought a college would take her.

titchy I believe I also said she was well behaved. My point being that she was treated like she did not belong there and we were riffraff because I am working as opposed to the clique of stay at home mums. Teachers were openly ridiculing me about working.

All good now and I have been able to move her seamlessly to a big comprehensive school where she already knows other students.

Thank you all for your support.

Did she have to restart Year 12? I have a similar situation with my son and wondered if he can transfer mid year
