September 2009 - which school year in England?

[Puygo]

Just that really. Thinking about a move from scotland

They’d be currently in Y9, starting Y10 and GCSEs in September after the summer holidays.

Yes currently year 9, starting year 10 in September. Will be oldest in the year group.

Year 9.

thanks . So still two years til gcse exams?

Yes. GCSE exams in summer 2026.

Thank you

@Puygo they would start working towards the GCSE exams from this September though when they go into Year 10.
It's actually really 5 months (from now) that the "Summer of 26" GCSEs begin.

Be aware that some schools choose GCSEs in year 8 and begin working on them in year 9 rather than in year 10.

Ok thanks. She already worked towards nat5s for the past year. So I think she basically goes back a year and goes over stuff she already done (not a bad thing)

Also, may be necessary if eg she has studied European history and the exam board she falls under does British history.

Does she know which GCSEs she would choose? Most schools like to see kids do at least one language and at least one humanity.

Current school doesn’t insist on a language so that could be a problem
