Hi, my DS is 15 and in yr 11 at school. He hasn''t been in school for almost 2 years as he was initially diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and then developed depression and was medium/high suicide risk. He has improved greatly with medication and work with Camhs but he has real issues with getting into school. As he has missed a lot and is easily exhausted the plan is that he only attends English lessons with the hope of taking GCSE Lit and Lang at some point. However it just isn't happening, his mood and ability to function went into sharp decline once September started looming and he becomes so anxious the day before each lesson he is awake all night and so isn't fit or able to go to school the next day. His Psych' says he as School Phobia. I feel that we should effectively take him out of school and home educate him with help of tutor which as 1:1 in English would equate to 1 or 2 hours a week. But would this be deemed as adequate educational provision?
