My DS is in yr10 and working towards his GCSE's and has been doing triple science since the start of yr9, we have just found out that his school are dropping triple science and all the students that were doing it now have to do the combined (double), they say this is because they are something like 80 hours behind because the exams have changed! The students should have had 6 1 hour lessons a week instead of just the 4. We are extremely upset and angry by this and wonder just how long they've known they were falling behind and why didn't they call a meeting with all the parents to discuss options instead of just cutting it out! My DS needs science to be able to get into the job he wants to do and therefore triple science we feel would be better than the combined. Just wanted to ask if this is happening to any other yr10 students or if it's just my DS's school?
