Anxiety: School On Fire...

Tonight we share a blog post from former Head Teacher, Steve Bladon:

 https://stevebheadteacher.wordpress.com/2023/08/29/school-on-fire/

Steve has written a powerful account of how school anxiety really feels based on his daughter's experience.

Over 20,000 views and counting - we feel Steve's experience will resonate with many of you and help you to know that you not alone.

Why are we fining and prosecuting parents of children who feel like this?

If you are struggling with these issues now please do seek support, one place you can find it is "Not Fine In School" - go to the website of that name, or the Facebook peer support group.

And we will continue to fire fight until the Department for Education acknowledge the harm that relentless attendance focus causes - and put protection in place.

Best wishes
