Does anyone have any experience of this? We spoke to the head at parents night & they said LA was introducing this to raise attainment levels ie they sit fewer & will get better grades. No meaningful response to our comments about limiting the opportunities for those who are capable of sitting more. I can only assume that this is an attempt to try to improve the results by which the schools are measured rather than any real attempt at raising attainment by raising standards. I am very cynical about this move, can anyone explain why it might be a good idea, my youngest DS who will be affected by this is more than capable of getting excellent grades across 7 subjects.
