Would you allow your child to attend a school with a 19% GCSE passmark and if this school was the only school your child had been offered a place at...and you couldn't move house...what would you do?

Also because I'm arrogant enough to believe DD would probably be in the 19%.

Yes, depending on the school's intake and value added. Much more informative than looking at raw results, IMO.

Sympathy! We moved to escape one with a 7% pass rate (now shut down!)

I don't think I could bear to but if you can't move and you can't afford private and there are no other schools, what are the options?

Can you really not move?
