Stats GCSE in year 9? Good Idea or Utterly Bonkers?

First off, I rate ds' school very highly. But I am a bit aghast at this, especially as there has been notification (as far as know) to parents, and ds has dyspraxia.

I have talked to Head of Learning, and the Vice Principal about my concerns.

But ds won't even be 14 when he takes it (two days before his birthday!).

Ds seems unworried.

What do you all think?

Neither a good idea or utterly bonkers, it's not something I'd aim for but if my dc did it then I think I'd just regard it as a bit of exam practice, no great benefit but no real harm done. If your ds isn't worried then just go with it.

Statistics? I got confused. Probably unecessarily early. Is he very good at Maths?
