The family of a teenage boy who has been told he cannot attend his end of year celebrations have said they "will do anything to help the situation".
The end of secondary school days for year 11 pupils is fast approaching and for many it is a poignant moment as they bid farewell to friends and move on to the next phase of their lives.
But one student, 16-year-old Benjamin Belshaw, told his mum he was "gutted" after finding out he would not be able to attend his last days at National Church of England Academy, Hucknall.
While not able to comment on Benjamin's situation, the school has said it has "to consider carefully whether it is safe for everybody" to take part.
The decision means he will miss photographs and shirt signings, a church service and the highly anticipated Year 11 prom taking place at Goosedale - a venue in Papplewick.
Mum, Kelly Belshaw, explained Benjamin has ADHD and has been on medication since last year.
After some behavioural problems in the past, Kelly, 36 said: "Benjamin got the all clear to be in school for Year 11, his final year."
However, following an incident with Benjamin at the school around three weeks ago where Kelly said he risked his own safety, he was told he couldn't be in the school until deemed medically safe.
Kelly said despite mental health assessments by Benjamin's support workers, he has now been told he cannot return to school for the rest of year, thus missing out on the final celebrations.
"It's been decided for safety reasons, for Benjamin's own safety," Kelly said.
"But he's been in the school since year 7 and he is gutted, absolutely gutted.
"He knows if he acts up they will send him home, but now he can't attend any of his final days."
Kelly has told the school she is willing to attend the events to supervise Benjamin along with another adult, but this has not so far been accepted.
Kelly said she is not CRB checked although the other adult who can attend is.
"I'll do anything to help the situation," she added.
"I understand where the school is coming from, and they want to make sure Benjamin isn't a risk to himself, but that's why I will be there, and another adult that he knows.
"I have also been emotional about this, I felt angry and told the school I would bring him even if he's escorted off. It has been very hard.
"Benjamin is upset, he feels like he is being labelled, and he told me he just wants to move on from this. It's not fair."
Benjamin's dad, Lee Belshaw, said: "I think it's disgusting how he's been treated.
"He's not getting any further education since being sent home, he wants to learn, he wants to be in school and say goodbye to his friends.
"When this first happened, the school said not to worry and to wait for the reports but even though he's been deemed safe to go in, the school still has to make its own decision."
A statement on behalf of the leadership team at National Church of England Academy, said: "Whilst we would like all of our students to celebrate with us at the end of year 11, we have to consider carefully whether it is safe for everybody.
"Sometimes, through careful risk assessment, it is not possible for some to join us and regretfully we have to make some difficult decisions.
"We do not comment on individual cases involving students but parents can be assured that any school organised event is done so with students’ safety as the number one priority."
