Do I have to keep my autistic son in a mainstream school

My son has been struggling in a mainstream secondary school for two years, I’m waiting for a place in a special needs school, but he is refusing to go back to the mainstream school so I have to send him in while I wait for a place at a special needs school

could you claim your home schooling him in the time to allow him to stay off?
i mean hes not gonna learn anything from high school anyway, they literally dont teach anything.

He hasn’t learnt a thing in the past two years which is worrying in its self, if he has autism is it a law I should send him into a mainstream school which is not helping him all

You can homeschool him. It's a parents responsibility to ensure a child receives an education, in school *or otherwise*. You don't have to follow the national curriculum either, he just needs to receive an education that meets his needs. I'd remove him from school until he gets a place at a SEN school, if it was me.
