  • Just had a call from my dd and she called a school yesterday and asked about going into 6th form and went today for an interview and has been accepted! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j
    (I can't even begin to go into everything that has happened over the last 4 years but one of the things was she became a school refuser at 12, got excluded from every school she went to and I have spent years trying to battle the LA to put her into school & battle with her to get her to go, and all it took was a phone call from her!) :T
