Thanks for the new thread.

DS had mocks in November and has them again next month.

Placemarking

Placemarking. DD isn't in school (anxiety), isn't doing independent work (low confidence), and is now to be entered for 4 GCSEs only (but this would be enough for college). On the plus side since being on antidepressants her mood and motivation are slowly improving and we are finally starting up work.

DDs school haven't had their first (and only) mocks yet.
Due next week. She's been revising every single day since the autumn as she always knew they would be so important.
If they don't happen, and it's looking likely, she will be devastated, angry and majorly disadvantaged to those who have mock results from last year.

Do your children have a second set of mocks happening. Apparent;y not going to happen in our school. If exams get cancelled how will they know what the students can do?
