A PREGNANT mother-of-three is at her wits end as her child remains off school in an allocation row.

Seven months pregnant Karen O'Neill is concerned over nine-year-old daughter Rebekah's "depression" at being kept off classes.

And she has slammed Worcestershire County Council, which oversees education, for failing to solve the problem.

The frustrated mother, featured in the Shuttle/Times & News last month, said: "I don't know who to turn to because I haven't heard from the county council.

"Rebekah is becoming depressed, bored and eating a lot - I am worried for her health.

"I am trying my best to educate her but I am not a teacher."

Mrs O'Neill blamed an administrative mix-up for scuppering her daughter's chance of attending Comberton Middle School.

She has been offered two other schools but the pregnant mother stressed she could not drop off her son at Comberton First School and walk three miles to Birchen Coppice Middle School.

She fears sending Rebekah to Sladen Middle School because of bullying at her previous first school.

Mrs O'Neill said: "We are in the catchment area for Comberton but still being denied a place - it is so unfair."

She removed Rebekah from Lea Street First School about a year ago because of alleged bullying.

Rebekah moved to Comberton First School but it did not receive her transfer form in time.

This resulted in a delayed application for Comberton Middle.

A county council spokesman said the matter had been passed from the admissions department to the authority's education welfare officers.

He said: "They are planning to set up a meeting to try to resolve this situation."
