Thought so.
My daughter attends a special school for speech and lang.
She transferred there for the start of yr 10.
First they held off on her starting her GCSE's for a year, no reason given. So she started all five that they offered last year.
So it meant that she had to stay at their sixth form this September to finish them off.
She told me a couple of months ago that all her class was now doing entry level science.
So she asked her speech therapist a few weeks back why was she doing entry to be told 'that not all the students are academic able to take GCSE science yet.'
End of year report arrived yesterday and it clearly says on it in black and white that she's doing entry3.
"In science has been working towards entry level certification with a view to possibly being entered as a GCSE candidate by may of 2015"
So i am confused by this. Does it mean that she be taking the GCSE exams in May 2015? Or going to start them in May 2015?
Because if it is the latter s&d that!!!
No way is she staying at that school for the next 3 yrs.
Had an online chat with another parent who's child is a yr younger and his science report says the same thing about May 2015.
My daughter is at least a level 5+ He is a level 2.
In her statement it says "to enable her to achieve her academic potential in public examination"
So being made to do entry 3 when she is clearly capable of doing science GCSE and when she was doing it for the term and a bit and was doing well in her scores (until another teacher arrived, took over and downgraded her). Then said to my face back in April before i knew that they were doing entry levels said that she was at a 'D' in GCSE.
Doing entry 3 is not reaching her academic potential!!
My daughter is fuming about this. I asked her if she wanted to stay on for the full 3 years and got a resounding NO back.
I am so sick and tired of this school lying to me.
