Advice needed urgently re daughters A levels, school be unhelpful.

Sunderlandafclad

My daughter is currently doing A levels and is having numerous sensory issues and problems with work load being easy and she is bored as she has already done the work.

we have asked school (6th form) if she can reduce some of her lessons so she can do them at home due to the issues she has and then go into classes for experiments or if she doesnt understand things etc but school are giving no leway at hall to accomodate her issues, she attends or she will be kicked out of school. We have had meets but they are not moving on any of her issues. Is there anyone I can speak to who can help sort her some part time home teaching with part time school attendance as when required to easy the burden she is having. Academiclly she excells but the school enviroment is causing great problems on a sensory level. She feels she can cope with workload doing some at home on a text book basis then some in school on a bit by bit basis subject to her issues at a given time Due loud noises bright lights ect. Anyone who can give me some advice inregards who I can speak to, to help us fight our corner to allow her time out to study at home, at current rate they are going to kick her off the course despite her getting top of class grades. The school seem really hung up on attendance issues despite her hitting target grades etc. Thanks in advance.

  • Well we have had a good few years of limited asistance with issues but now she has moved into the sixth form its like its a different school, the head of sixth form is refusing to asist in any matters, their policy is she attends all lessons and if she drops to 86% attendance she will highly likely asked to leave. The school has insufficent rooms for their needs and the once quiet room has now become more like a common room. All we are asking is that for some lessons she can do the work at home when she is confident she can do it and come in when if she has issues but they seem stuck upon this attendance lark with no room for leway. She is under the local youth mental health team for her issues and depession and this is just making things worse. Ive tried speaking to the school to no avale guess all i can do now is speak to local education auth etc and see where that goes. She aced A* for subjects in her last gcse and hitting top of class and all they say is she wont cope, she has had two months off for surgery on her hands and went back for 1 day and did a chemistry assesment and came out top of the class! She has the ability to do so well if given the right package!
