She's unwell, under GP care, but she felt pressured into attending the academy despite the GP having no clue as to what's afflicting her. Her condition worsened but the school did nothing. When a senior member of staff was informed of the sensory differences with my daughter (in terms of this illness) the member of staff was patronising and refused to release my daughter. And Mr Staniforth was one of the few good members of staff. The sooner my children are out of that school the better.
