My DD has SN's. She was in bottom sets until the end of Y9, when she was moved out of bottom sets in all subjects, to bottom middle in some, and top middle in others.
I know she has got her first Controlled assessment after half term, in Catering. Can anyone explain to me what GCSE's are like right now, and how I can help DD get better marks?
She gets 25% extra time in exams, and a reader, but I have NO idea if she gets this for CA's too.
How would I know?
And how do you find out what exam board the GCSE's are with, and what their grade boundaries will be?
I want to know best how to help her to drag some of her GCSE's up to 'C' grades, which she needs for the college course she wants to do.
She is in Y10. She has just 'twigged' school, IYKWIM. For the first time ever, she gets on with her homework and is working hard. Until now, she had meltdowns over homework constantly (one of her issues is Autism). That has gone. She is really working hard, and I want to help her.
