attendance worries

Hotel california

Hi, just need some advice.

Just received a letter from edu welfare officer who wants to meet to create an attendance plan for my son.  The school records are incorrect but because computer says so they are not accepting my figures.  Nevertheless he has missed school due to anxiety, stress, ill health and on three occasions sent home because school did not follow routines, which I don't believe are accurately recorded.

My question is what do ewo do in such cases.  Take me to court?  

Just to say his studies are not suffering as he continues to be in the top 3 per cent.

Look forward to some advice.  Forgot to say he has asd and a statement

  • School just doesn't work for some children, ASC being one of those groups.

    In law, your son is receiving an education if he is doing online work and therefore they couldn't say too much about it.  I think this stinks of the school being more concerned about attendance records than your son.  Even on the days he goes in, perhaps they are allowed to count it as a half day's attendance even if he left after an hour so they would rather that happen no matter his distress.

    Have you spoken to the LA about PRUs, alternative schooling, or setting up the online schooling as a permanent thing?
