Wondering what happens to students like dd now that dropping out of education isn't an option. She is likely to leave without maths or English. Her school won't let her stay on into sixth form and I can't imagine any other school will want to offer her a place given her school record (not just not working, but disruption, poor punctuality etc).
How do we go about trying to find an appropriate college place or an apprenticeship? Is there any particular organisation we could approach who would be able to help us explore the options?
I know that there are masses of foundation level BTEC's. I taught in FE years ago on a range of vocational courses. DD is bright and easily bored and I can't imagine her lasting 10 minutes on the type of entry level courses I used to teach on.
I am looking at apprenticeships for her, but then the thought keeps cropping up - why would anyone want to offer an apprenticeship to a student who's proved themselves unable to follow rules or consistently get into school on time?
