Resit maths, doesn't want to, do we have to pay?

Dss is in sixth form and has been put in for a maths resit tomorrow. He is adamant he is not doing it as he didn't want to resit maths.

We want him to, but he's being silly.

My question is, will the school send us an invoice for the exam if he doesn't turn up?

It is a government condition of sixth form funding that he continues to study for his maths GCSE if he failed in Y11. Technically he doesn’t have to be entered for the exam, however if he has been studying for it, why would he throw away the chance to pass a core GCSE?

As the school have paid to enter him for it, they may well expect you to pay the entry costs if he doesn’t show up.

Tell him to get his head out of his arse?
