What this one’s for
The student who stops at the gate. The bright Year 9 who’s down to mornings only. The empty chair you’ve stopped marking. Emotionally based school avoidance in secondary is a slow, frightening drift — and the usual sanctions make it worse. The straight-talking handbook: how to read it, who to pull in, and how to bring a young person back without breaking the relationship.
- Tell EBSA apart from truancy — and respond right
- The transition and exam-pressure pinch points
- Use the system — pastoral, SENCo, CAMHS, EHCP — properly
