Can any one tell me what happens next, if your 13yr old is expelled from school.

[anewyear]

My 13 yr ld Ds is in Yr8 at middle school.
So will either go on to High School or join Yr9 at a secondary school (this is where he wants to be now)
However his behaviour at school is becoming more unacceptable, Ive been in for a meeting with the school this morning. They have put him on report, he will have todo any work hes missed during the morning at lunchtime etc etc
What I want to knoew is they decide enough is enough,he still wont try to change his behaviour and they expell him, is what happens next?
Does anyone have any experiance of this?

he wont be left with no education.. there is quite a few different schemes for children like him depending on where you live. Fairbridge works wonders with children like your son, they do group and individual stuff... But there will be somewhere that does, contact your local education dept to find out whats in the area. My daughter never went to mainstream school from the age of 14 cos of her behaviour, she was placed into unit where she did her english, maths and alot of non academic skills.. her behaviour improved alot because she wasn't in that school environment, she attended Fairbridge also where she did alot of outdoor activites including weekends away

Thanx for that Purplecupcake.
To be honest Non academic stuff is what he likes, computers, cars, motorbikes, if he put his mind to it he would be great at art,

doesnt like football & stuff tho, he doesnt see the point in kicking/running after a ball.
Thanx again

Your local LA has a duty to ensure that he is educated. But you won't be the first parent that the school will have had to see about this sort of thing and they should have some suggestions as well as the LA.

One young woman I know decided that school really wasn't her thing but that she knew she wanted to work with small children. So she persuaded her school and the local college, well before GCSE stage, to allow her to spend some time at the local college starting a nursery nurse qualification. It's not generally accepted, certainly round here, but somehow she got them to see it was the right solution. It made a huge difference - she could see the point of what she was learning in school as well as in college where the emphasis was more practical.

So explore lots of options, including the practical training ones.

They are unlikely to expel him for the behaviour that you mention and going on report is probably just the first step in a series of measures that are likely already to be in place - another open to them is fixed term exclusion for example. Excluding children permanently is difficult and the school must demonstrate that the "process" has been gone through. However, if they want him out permanently, then the LA must make provision. The first option they will explore is a managed move to another school. Some mainstream schools have units for children with behavioural difficulties so that may be an option. Going to a separate unit will probably be one of the last options they explore having tried other things. LAs also have to offer home tuition.
