My sons school seem to have chucked them out of school with no word of any work/studying to do next term. My son seems quite happy with that but 6 months of nothing doesn’t sit well with me? Does anyone else have this problem?

My DD has alot of work that she is working through , her school set it via firefly.

In what sense Lordfrontpaw? The cut off for producing new work/data for GCSE assessment is passed - the school will be working with historic evidence. Children may not know if their grades mean they are going ahead with the same A-levels at the same 6th forms, but they can work towards that.

We still aren’t really sure about the gcse marking though are we?

We've not had anything yet, (and that's fine by me) but are expecting work after the holidays. Nothing too onerous though hopefully. Making sure they've finished/mastered the GCSE syllabus for the A levels they want to do mainly I think.

My DD has been given bridging work to prepare her for A-levels, including reading lists, project work and essays. They are also supposed to be mentoring and supporting younger children with their school work through a teacher run buddy system.

It’s Easter Sunday.
Wait until term starts.
