Florrie hated school so much it made it her ill. She would cry in her bedroom every morning and plead with her mum not to take her.
"Going to school was like a massive weight on my shoulders," says Florrie.
"School was chaos. Hundreds of kids running around corridors pushing and shoving. It was a literal hellhole and I hated it."

"I would walk into her bedroom and she'd be hiding in the cupboard," Philippa says.
