I've been kicked off my course and I don't know what to do from here?

and the basis for this assertion ?

while people are required to be in education, training or a job with training, unlike school aged children there is nothing that forces a particualr institution to retain someone who doesn;t attend and deceptive.

I am merely passing on what our school was told by the DFE. The OP may have been permanently excluded (he doesn't make it very clear) but you can no longer be made to leave post 16 just for poor performance.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you because I don't know how it works, but if so, does that mean an 16-18 year old can be an absolute douchebag at college/sixth form and not getting expelled? How does that work? Surely if the school no longer wants them there they have every right to get rid, and then its the persons responsibility to find an alternative?

That's obviously never been true for 11-16 and now appears not to be true for 16-18 either. I'm not directly involved in this but I know we tried to get someone to leave for wasting everyone's time but not doing anything significantly bad only to discover we couldn't.

No, it doesn't work like that. Not at secondary, anyway. If the school/institution wishes to expel the child, then it has to find somewhere for that child to go. It's called a 'managed move'. It's a bit like refugees - you can't just make them stateless. The receiving institution or PRU needs to agree to take the delinquent child on. And it usual costs the institution ridding themselves of the child a good deal of money and administration. Thus, a school or other institution will do everything in their power to avoid having to permanently exclude (=expel) a child.

Thanks for that, learn something new everyday. Do schools get paid for taking on expelled students? By the time I finished secondary school about 30 people in my year had been permanently excluded over the 5 years, I did wonder what happened to them

They don't get paid as such, but PE students tend to have a lot of extra needs/SEN support and that needs to be costed. I imagine a proportion of the 30 people excluded in your year went to a pupil referral unit, or PRU which really is the end of the road.

On thursday, I found out I'd been withdrawn from my course due to low attendance. The reason for this being my depression. It's impossible to get up some mornings and I have no motivation. All that aside, I felt hard done by, because there is a certain process they have to follow. There is a verbal warning, a meeting and then a formal meeting. I was given a verbal warning but no meeting. They had put me on a 2 week "trial" to monitor my progress. I had one day off during those 2 weeks, because I had left my wallet on the bus the day before and I had no money so I couldn't get the bus. Also, they say my behaviour has been inadequate, which I completely disagree with. I'm not just saying that because I am biased towards myself, but because I genuinely can't think of a single incident which could warrant me being removed from the course.

Anyway, I have to write a letter of appeal to my college about why they have made the wrong descision to withdraw me. If that fails, I don't really know what to do from here. Could I please have some advice? Thank you
