My son is currently in Y8, so moving into Y9 for the next academic year.
His remote learning provision has been really really poor. I have taken this up with the school and I really do not want to begin any kind of teacher bashing thread.
His head of year has told me he genuinely does not feel that pupils will be able to catch up, he is not confident that Y9 will be back in September and he would encourage me to use any time I have available to home school DS using revision guides, bitesize, Corbett maths.
I've found some great info on mumsnet and elsewhere about online courses and other resources but I'm not clear as to whether once he's in Y9 DS should be studying the KS3 or 4 curriculum?
I know that his science teacher feels they have completed the KS3 curriculum. He says the work he has set during lockdown is, as such, at GCSE level- unfortunately it has been extremely difficult to follow and sporadic so not very helpful.
So, where do I start with knowing at what level to look for resources? Any help would be very gratefully received.
