Please be gentle with me this is my first time posting,I have recently gone through an appeal hearing for an in year transfer for my 12 year old daughter, unfortunately this was unsuccessful but because September is the new academic year I can appeal again, which means another hearing,whilst I won’t add all the details I will just outline why I want to move her to a different school.
she suffers with diagnosed school based anxiety which she is under the GP for, to add to this she has been bullied, her attendance is currently 76%, as her anxiety manifests as panic attacks, nausea and vomiting insomnia she is currently unable to eat at school due everything that has been going on, she has had some sessions with reflexions mental health team, she sees the school doctor and the school nurse regularly, for the past four weeks she has been on a reduced timetable where she sits in a separate classroom for PE and drama as these are the lessons where all the bullies are in a group together, she has an individual support plan in place, unfortunately non of this has made any difference to the anxiety for this reason I want to give her a fresh start at a new school, my appeal was rejected as the school is full, I wanted her to go to the new school as she has an established friend group there for support and they have an excellent pastoral department that works closely with children who suffer with symptoms like my daughters, please can anyone who has been successful in securing a place through an appeal hearing offer any advice as to how I could go about the new hearing, I’m feeling desperate, she is currently missing vital education and I’m worried about her mental health and wellbeing.
Thank you
