To insist dd go school everyday between now and GCSE exams since school has no official study leave period?

[Dreadmill]

I expect that teachers will be focused on revision and exam practise etc. My thinking is that there's still much to be done and the exams are a way off

Dd is adamant a high percentage of her cohort are now "WFH" at least 1/2 days a week.

For context, she is very high achieving (predicted 8 grade 9s) has always had 100% attendance and punctuality.

She's convinced that we're being too strict by making her go. Any MNers with recent experience??

Why don't you contact the school (head of year 11 or attendance team) to ask them if she is expected in?

The run up to exams is a critical time so I'd be very suprised if a school pupil is already on any kind of study leave for exams in May.

My DS did his GCSEs last year. The expectation was that they were in everyday, working at home was not an option.

Ours had study leave but I don't think from this early
However if they had i would have happily let my DD do what she wanted becsuee she's a committed student who has the knowledge embedded already because she's a natural student.
She achieved mostly 9s at.gcse. again for a levels I'm hands off. Why flog a race horse whose in the lead into the home straight leagues ahead .

And I'm very glad she had the option so she could work and revise on a way that clearly worked for her

Yr 11 mum here and all kids in school and fully focussed with a timetable of additional lessons on top to suit their ability. No flexibility in expected until the bulk of the exams have been sat.

Ok, based on your update to my original post I might allow the occasional day off school to complete coursework. In some subjects coursework has a higher weighting than exams. But that would only be if they were also being productive with their evening and weekend time.

School is a bus not a taxi. A minority of students would probably gain more from studying at home but the majority will benefit from more structured revision and question practice (including a significant chunk of those who think they'd get more done at home ) and imagine being the school trying to differentiate between the two groups and arguing with parents who think their DC should be in the other group.
