Can anyone offer any information or insight into this? My dd has been having problems at school for a long time and is now being flexischooled with a month to go till her GCSEs. With hindsight, pulling her out of school earlier would have been better, but I didn't know the options at the time. Gutted.
We are now looking at the NEC for a levels next year; wants to study maths at uni (probably, although she may still change her mind, she's still only 16) but it seems most HEdders either HE all the way through or the kids go to 6th form college for a levels. I can't find anyone who has been to school then HEdded at 17+.
Technically, she won't be HEdded as such, as the NEC is a proper course, and part of the reason we have chosen that route is because with uni two years away, we don't have time to learn how to do this... Need a structured course with the advantage that she can go at her own pace within that structure, and NEC seem perfect for this.
She will also need the further maths a level, and I'vr looked into that, but it would be great to hear from anyone who has been down this route. Also, she may need STEP or MAT, depending on which uni she applies to, and I know schools give support so she would be on her won with that, although we now have a 'bank' of tutors to call on if things get tricky over the next fee years.
Sorry for the long post, anf for my rubbish sentence structure... Im typing on a tablet, and im not used to doing that! We're in the Cardiff area, but it seems most HE groups revolve around the younger kids, or at least only up to GCSEs, so I'm not sure how useful they would be.
