Reading anecdotes online, This appears to be a nightmare move, that will utterly destroy the child's GCSE results. The only possible way to salvage even a half-decent result (at least a C) and then only for some subjects, would be to HE and do IGCSEs instead.
Is that true?! Is the English system really that inflexible and impossible? Do families with kids age 14-16 just resign themselves to the fact that they are not able to move house very far?! Why do different schools have different exam boards with completely different timetables & requirements, for the same subject, anyway?
I just cannot believe how rigid and non-transferable the system is. Truly shocked. Are A-levels just as bad, btw?
Yes we are thinking of moving house.
