We have been asked if DSD would like to be a bridesmaid at a family wedding on the Sat at the end of the Summer half term next year. She will be in yr 11 so sitting GCSEs. Clearly we don't know the exam timetable yet, I assume she will have already sat a good number of exams before half term but will probably have some afterward too.
Our thinking is that she will have all of half term up to the Friday afternoon to revise, realistically a complete day off from revision on the Sat of the wedding, the Sun am would be a write off too, then she has Sun afternoon to revise and back to school on the Monday. Any thoughts please?
We don't want to wreck her exams, we don't want to say no to a lovely opportunity, we run the risk of her having an exam on the Monday morning and being tired, but this may not be the case at all. What to do?! She is not very academic and finds schoolwork and revision hard going. She would be thrilled and excited to be part of a wedding in this way. She doesn't yet know about any of this.
