Can anyone help please? My niece has been told she's not allowed to return to school in September to complete her A level studies because she failed one of her AS subjects. This isn't an independent school or a selective school, not even a comprehensive school, but merely a secondary modern school. My niece was offered a place at the local grammar school after GCSE's because her results were very good, but decided to stay with her friends at her secondary modern school. She's had to suffer her parents getting divorced and her mum becoming ill, which probably didn't help her to concentrate on revision. She only passed two AS levels and has been told by her school not to return in September! Is this allowed? I feel the school should be supporting her, not washing their hands of her. She has 100% attendence, always offers to help on open evenings, is a very polite and quiet child and in many respects is a model pupil. She's never been in trouble with the school. She wants to complete her A levels even if she just ends up with two passes. It seems the school are just worried about the league tables.
