Thanks for that but sorry, I didnt make myself clear. I cant home school her, she has learning difficulties, I want to remove her from school for her safety and place her at another one preferably with as little time out of education as possible.

Sorry again for the lack of detail in my op but im bloody fuming!!!

From the other threads you've started, you are obviously having ongoing difficulties that the school / authorities know about. If these are continuing, that needs to be the starting point of a discussion about moving her elsewhere.

So you want to change schools? The thread should have been titled..."how do I get my child into a different school?"

Cheers. Yep it's been ongoing for too long now. These scummy kids just won't leave her alone so I'm looking into moving schools. In the mean time I've instructed her to give the next one who hurts her the pasting of their miserable lives. 

 

If you can't teach em,

Beat em. 

 

Maybe then she can go a day without being harassed,  abused or assaulted.

Now that might get her out of her current school super, super quick. Rather lessens her chance of getting into another school.

 

But I take your point.

A fresh start might be a good idea, but what school would you like her to go to?

 

This needs a lot of thought to find somewhere suitable, and then places may not be available where you want her to go. Unfortunately now that many schools no longer come under the jurisdiction of one education authority it's a bit of a minefield getting information and help, but I still think a chat with someone at the local education authority might be the way forward. 

 

You are obviously angry and frustrated at the moment, but that has to be put to one side to get the best deal for your daughter. A swift seamless transition would be nice, but is not always possible, so bear that in mind too.

Get contacting other schools, explaining your daughter's needs and if they feel that they are up to the job and have the space.  If so, then go for a look round with your daughter and take it from there. 

 

Good luck.

I think you may find many schools may have "These scummy kids" in them. It's sods law and human nature, no school will be 100% filled with little Angels. There will always be one or two who push boundaries to the limits.

And I take yours. I wasn't serious though, just fuming. She tries so hard at school, she isn't a natural academic and so has to put in the extra effort and to have these thugs continually make her life hard is very upsetting.

They see her as an easy target, someone to pick on. She never mouths back at them, she has only ever hit them in self defence. Ironically for their safety as much as my daughters. I hope they never get to find that out first hand but the way things are heading, If we dont change schools one of them will get a cold hard dose of reality and will only have themselves to blame.

In the cold light of day staying at her current school may be the best option. She only has a year and a half to go, she finds it difficult to make new friends and mix so taking her into a new school could be a good thing or a bad thing. Its a flip of the coin really and when I think about It I dont really want to take a big risk to her education on the flip of a coin. Im having a meeting with school early next week, the Police will be talking to the animals next week too so I will wait until then to make any decisions but in the meantime ill be looking at other schools and making a few appointments.
