My dd is 14 and is very gifted but losing focus in school. She goes to a grammar school and got full marks in the entrance exam and has been in the gifted and talented scheme since she was old enough. She's predicted all 8s and 9s at gcse (straight a*s) and has always been in the top sets. But sincce starting gcse courses she's got bored because she knows she can turn up without revising and get 7s and 8s and was temporarily moved down a set whilst they tried to figure out how to motivate her.
I've got no idea what to do. She's in a school that is so pushy and academic it loses pupils to the more pastoral schools yet it's not pushy enough for her. I'm considering forking out for an extra gcse she can do online like an ou course to give her something? She's in so many sports but just loses focus in school and's stopped giving in homework. I don't know what to do with her?!
