i went to this school from october 2020-march 2021 and i was extremely anxious throughout, i also am trying to get diagnosed with autism, as i was extremely anxious it was a struggle to go to school, so i had pretty bad attendance, and to be honest this school made my attendance worse for harassing me and my parents by telling me to just “come to school” in their words they said i was ‘fine’ at school which i knew not to be true as i’d have panic attacks multiple times a day, in most lessons. also, almost all my classmates would harass and bully me for “ruining the class attendance” which made me feel absolutely horrible about myself as i couldn’t help it, i was overwhelmed every single day with everything, and school just made it so much worse, and they didn’t do anything. as we did online learning in january and february of 2021, i was starting to get better as i didn’t have to go into school and face the harassment everyday, but then in march 2021 we went back to school in person, which i was dreading but i had to do it, i went to school for 5 days, on one of those days, i was so anxious i stayed up all night because i couldn’t sleep, and i still went to school, i was trying not to fall asleep in my classes because i was so exhausted, and no one asked if i was okay or anything, on another one of the days, i had a terrible migraine so i didn’t go to school, my mum called the office and told them i wasn’t going to be in, but my head of year forced me in, so i had to go to school with a terrible migraine, as soon as i got into school, the attendance officer, shouted at me for about 10 minutes about how i should be in school everyday no matter how bad my anxiety was or no matter how bad my migraine is, so i tried not to throw up in my afternoon classes, as that’s how i usually feel when i have a migraine, and eventually it was the end of the day and i could come home, and i told my mum about what the attendance officer said, and she said that what she said wasn’t right, and that’s when i decided i needed to leave pakefield high and be homeschooled from now on, and i’m doing better, leaving pakefield was one of the best decisions i could have ever made.
