I've just recieved a letter from my daughters school saying they're referring her for fast track prosecution-does any one know what this will mean?

I don't know that much about this but I found this link that might be some help

It would seem that you would be give a term to arrange attendence and if that doesn't work you might be liable for a variety of things.

thanks lou33,I was aware that she was missing lots of school,I tried most of Friday to contact her Head of Year with no luck.She just doesn't want to go to school,it's not as if she can't manage the work,apparently she has the highest IQ in her year. I'm at my wits end,I've tried shouting,pleading,bribery,tears if anyone has any ideas please tell me.

Why is she not going? What is she doing instead? Is she aware that you can be prosecuted if she doesn't go?

What age is she, and why is she not wanting to go to school, is she being bullied?

Could she feel bored with the lessons if she has a v high IQ, or is trying not to show it?
