DD is choosing her 'options' for gcse. The school have insisted that, amongst her choices MUST be one from the EBacc list (French, German, history, geography, computer science) and they will not accept her options form without it!
She does not want to do any if these subjects and will have to remove and replace a subject off her form that she DOES want to do.
The school initially said this was a government requirement until I argued that it isn't, the EBacc is a performance measure for schools. They now say it is a school 'requirement' and are not accepting her options form as it is.
I argued that it is wrong for the school to force students to pick subjects which will ensure that the school does well in this new performance measure.
What I would like to know is, can they enforce this? What right do they have, what rights does DD have? Or myself?
The school is an academy if that makes any difference ??

Can the school force DD to take EBacc subjects?
