The Girl in the Dark
Page 26
‘Do you happen to know how much school she’s missed?’ Jonathan asked.
‘All in all I reckon she’s missed about half a term from what she’s said, but don’t quote me on that.’
‘I see. I don’t suppose you know if she’s statemented? Our support social worker mentioned she had help in the classroom. Was anything said to you along those lines?’
‘Nothing official, but Lucy told me she always had a lady helping her in her old school, so I guess she must be.’
‘OK. That’s good to hear. Hopefully it won’t be too difficult to find her a school place here.’
