School she doesn't attend tells girl she is 'misbehaving'

The mother of a 12-year-old girl from West Sussex has said she was shocked to receive a progress report from a school her daughter had never attended.

The Patcham High School report, sent to Diane Bond in Hurstpierpoint, praised Sophie's performance in English but said she was misbehaving in maths.

"The school doesn't know whether Sophie is there or not but has quite clearly given her results," said Ms Bond.

The school said it regretted any distress its mistake had caused.

Patcham's report gave Sophie grades in five subjects but marked her absent in all the others.

A letter invited her and her mother to a meeting to address her absenteeism.
