ds's school only sets for maths until GCSE.
dd will be joining the school in a year's time and although I am broadly happy with the school, I am concerned about the lack of English setting which - in not just my opinion but that of ds and his peers too - has not been helpful to more able pupils. It's not just about exam results (which are good across the board) but about the opportunity to study more challenging texts and participate in deeper discussions.
Is there any point in my writing to the head of English? Would this impact negatively on ds? Do I just have to suck it up and do "shadow education" at home?
