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

  • I am thinking of flexi schooling him, but as there has been a reshuffle in the school, I am not sure if they are going to support me.  I did this with my eldest and it worked well, but not sure if I have a legal right to do this.

    As you say it does feel that it is just a tick box exercise without any thought beyond that.  If you are at school great.  Doesn't  seem to matter if you are at school yet banging your head against a desk because you are stressed and cannot function,  just so long as you are there.  It beggers belief!
