DD, took GCSE English last year while in year 10. Although her coursework was all graded an A, she didn't do well in the exam and received a C.
DD wants to resit the exam. When she asked her teacher on Monday, she was told she couldn't resit because she hadn't failed. Only DCs who got a D or below could resit and they would have extra tuition after school.
After we kicked up a fuss, the school are now prepared to let her resit the exam but will not tutor her. The tutoring is aimed at the foundation teer so is not suitabe as DD will be resiting the higher paper.
I can't afford to pay for a tutor so that's not an option. How do I help DD to get ready for this exam and what resources should she be using.
Thanks
