Exam arrangements on EHCP not met

My daughter is 17 and was sitting a mock exam in her consortium school this morning.  Her EHCP states she gets extra time, use of a laptop and a smaller room (smaller than hall).  When she got there she was brought into a room with 17 other students and then told she had to write.  She was very distressed and began crying.  They took her outside and left her sitting there for about 15 minutes.  Then a lady came up to her and was talking very forcefully (even though she was still crying), she was telling her that this is the last chance she has to sit the exam and was rolling her eyes at another teacher.  Then after a while the lady told hr that she could do ithe exam n a separate room with her laptop but my daughter was in such a bad place she was not fit to do it and had to come home.  I have emailed her school who said they have heard about this (but didn't contact me about it) and they would get back to me.  

Am I right in being angry?  Am I right that 17 in a room is not a small room? 

Any advice on how to proceed would be very much appreciated.

  • That is awful, what a horrible woman treating your daughter like that, what do they think she has an ECHP for to begin with?

    To be honest I think this so egrigious I would think about contacting the media, BBC Your Voice, Newsnight or the Guardian newspaper, this is the sort of thing that needs national attention.

    Sorry I have nothing else to offer than my outrage at what has happened to your daughter.
