DD got 7s to 9s at GCSE at her current private school
Unfortunately in 6th form she got disrupted by boy issues.
She initially was doing maths, biology, and psychology, but maths was downgraded to AS, and finally dropped.
She is now due to sit biology and psychology, but the school don't think she should sit biology, having scored Es consistently in mocks. Her psychology is at C.
She has an offer of 32 pts for foundation psychology, so can do that with a C or two Es.
Her other offers are typically 2 Cs, so a C and an E or D wouldn't realistically help. (She has an AA non-foundation offer)
Her exams are
psych 1 16 May
Psych 2 21 may
Bio 1 5 June
Psych 3 9 June
Bio 2 13 June
Bio 3 18 June
She has been of the opinion that she will improve. However her attendance is very poor and reasonably this is in doubt.
The school have said:
Come into school (when others are on study leave) and the psych teacher will help you one to one until the end of exams.
Drop biology.
This makes some sense as she might therefore do better in psychology. However it might be she is lazy and doesn't want to go into school idk.
Anyway, can anyone advise:
- Can we insist that she does biology? ultimately if she's informed of the consequences it is her decision to make
- Is she likely to get anywhere with, say, 1 A in psychology, and no other A-levels, in clearing? I.e. is the school's suggestion/decision in her interests?
