Unlawful exclusions?

Hi there, 

I wonder if someone knows the answer to this question? Maybe someone has experience of this before. I am helping a friend with a complaint to her daughter's school.

Can a school tell a parent not to bring their child to school for a day because they don't have the staff to support her? Her daughter has autism, adhd and spd. She has challenging behaviour and needs 2:1 support. She is already on a restricted timetable (for a year!) without it being reviewed. Four times so far this year Mum has been called to say not to bring her daughter to school that day because they are short staffed and don't have anyone to cover. This is a mainstream school. Surely this can't happen as much as it is, as well as keeping her on a restricted timetable can it? If there are staffing issues, that's a problem for the school to resolve and shouldn't be affecting her daughter's education.

Any ideas would be greatly appriciated. 

Thanks!

  • Schools are no longer about giving your children an education that will allow them to prevail in any situation like in the days when our country and way of life was respected in the world*, they are now indoctrination centres where "compliance" is held to be the most moral virtue above all other considerations. 

    But both parents are simply too "occupied" under our paradigm, so homeschooling isn't a viable option, except for the most fortunate and rare of children. 

    Can anyone say "captive audience"? 

    *Britain really isn't respected around the world any longer once you get outside this propaganda bubble (or actually get out of the country for a while) and interact on a personal level with people of other countries. Then you get the straight information.

  • Were we so much respected or feared? That said being feared can be useful. in geopolitical terms.

  • To be fair I pick up a sense of lost respect in most conversations I have.

    Them Victorians did some awesome stuff....
