Repeating a year

Hi. DD has ADHD and has found year 9 challenging. Focus not capability.

she mentioned today that she would like to repeat year 9 at a different school so she has a year to sort herself out before starting GCSE’s. How easy is it to get a place at private school out of year like that? I understand state schools don’t like kids to be out of year. She wouldn’t want to stay where she is.

She is a summer born so I don’t feel it’s a bad idea but not sure how easy it would be to find somewhere willing to take her!!

It’s most likely we will move her (I think you were over on my other thread!) due to other issues with the school mail holding her back seemed the right time

I just realised who you are! Haha. Good luck!
