Have n/c as outing.
Dc joined a school in September which offered VERY specific things which we wanted. One of it's big attraction for us was that you didn't have to be in top set to do sciences as a separate subject. Dc works better in some sciences that others and biology in particular is very important to what they wants to do when leaving school.
Dc however was yesterday told that those not achieving high levels would be switched to 'normal' science rather than single subjects. This concerns me as instead of getting a B in Chemistry and Biology and a C in Physics dc is likely to get a lower score in normal science.
There is also rumblings of them changing to an academy and accepting younger pupils (year 7 and 8s) despite the school being very popular.
Dc is thriving in the older environment and it feels like the whole dynamic of the school is going to change.
She's gutted and I'm not sure what to do.
