EBSA or Emotionally Based School Avoidance refers to when a child faces intense emotional distress that causes difficulty attending school. This distress often stems from anxiety, depression, or fears related to the school environment. If your child exhibits an ongoing unwillingness or inability to attend school due to emotional reasons, they may be struggling with EBSA.
The Arc School Old Arley site will be closed to children whilst planned works are underway across the summer. All pupils will receive education via remote learning for this last week of term.
