DC has done badly in Chemistry mock - got a U.
He got a D for Physics and a C for Biology.
He resat a Chem module and has managed to improve his AS grade from an E to a D .
He got a C for an A2 Bio module that they took early.
His Chem teacher has told him today that because he failed one of his mocks he will have to pay to be entered privately for his 3 A2 levels in the summer.
He was also told that he would be allowed to carry on coming to lessons and wouldn't be " kicked off the course " as they are threatening other kids . ( isn't that the same as being excluded ,can you be excluded for failing a mock ? )
I just wondered if anyone could tell me if this is common practice .
Does being entered " privately " mean that your results don't appear in the school results ?
I realise ,btw ,that DC grades not good ,but think even an E at A2 is something ,better than just an AS .
Also feel a bit miffed that nothing said to parents about any of this - first I've heard.
DC says subject teacher says it's the schools policy and that she thinks it's" a bit mean ".
