I am wondering if it is worth trying to have a fight with the school.
Basically she will be doing
Triple science
English
Maths (with Statistics thrown in as BOGOF)
RE
She can choose two from a group of Humanities/Languages. She has chosen
German
History
She then has to choose two from a group of technology and arts subjects, but one MUST be a technology subject
She had chosen Music but would also like to do Drama. Instead she will have to do Food Tech as her dyspraxia makes all the other tech subjects utter misery for her.
Now as Gove has withdrawn specialist status from schools I can see no reason why she should be forced to take one of a group of subjects in which she has no interest and for which she has no aptitude when there are plenty of other subjects they offer which would suit her very well (Drama, 2nd language).
It's probably not worth making a fuss though, is it?
