Has anyone else encountered this? My year 9 daughter is sitting a GCSE controlled assessment for English tomorrow, without having been previously told that it was for GCSEs! Apparently the school is hoping to gain some advantage in the league tables by doing this, but I don't understand how this is even possible. We parents found out tonight - half of these children are only 13! A friend is distraught because her daughter didn't do much preparation, not knowing it would count for GCSEs. Anyone else with similar experience/advice?
