There is no 7 year rule, this crux is now 'best interests of child' and children are adaptable, more so than adults.

This article by Freemovement explains the stance the Home Office are currently taking and in particular note:
"The Home Office position in almost all cases seems to be that it would be reasonable for a child to accompany his or her parents abroad, so very few applications under this rule are currently succeeding.

Some provision is made in Appendix FM for the parents of a child to remain in the UK for 7 years, but only if one of the parents is British or settled (paragraph EX1) or if the parents are separated (family life as parent of a child route). There is no provision within the Immigration Rules where neither of the parents have any status and the parents are still together."

My reading of the case law, is that the circumstance of the child who meets the conDitton of 276ADE is first considered, and then the parents position, and a balance is struck as to whether it will be reasonable in all the circumstance. In case of children at the advance stages of their education, the case law indicates that their position is much stronger that child in the early part of their education, whose only links would have been with immediate family.

The girl can apply with family. She can argue that removing her will breach her private life.
