If your child is doing well at school does the school put them in for Gse early or have them do AS level or iGCSE instead of standard GCSE? if so what do you think of it?

Mine do their GCSEs in Year 10 and AS levels in Year 11.

My son did 2 GCSEs early, well the more able students did maths stats and an additional advanced maths qualification thingy. Plus bigger load of gcses... He is doing 14.5 in total
You have to have done the gcse to do the as/A level I expect.
