Hi I am new to this site but hope someone can help.
My daughter is suffering with anxiety issues over exams etc in Year 11. Her grades have taken a real nose dive since last year as the school has changed to an Academy and most of her teachers that she is doing GCSE's in have left so she has had to deal with new teachers and new ways of learning. She is meant to be doing higher level Math's, English and doing Triple Science. Her grades have now dropped to a predicted D in maths and English. She wants to take these exams at a Foundation level as she knows how much she is struggling to keep up. After talking with her head of year today she has said it will be the decision of her teachers for those subjects whether they move her down. Surely it must be her choice and ours? If she doesnt get the C's she will have to keep re-sitting them at 6th Form which means she wont be able to do as many A levels or BTEC's.
Has anyone got any information or advce about this?
