Hello! A friend of mine is looking for an online GCSE provider for her daughter (currently year 8).
Mainstream schooling isn't working out at the moment due to the pressure of it and the daughter has a lot of outside interests (gymnastics, art, photography, etc.) that are falling by the wayside due to the constant pressure of tests/homework/exam prep. She finds school a very stressful environment, and it is causing her a lot of anxiety.
The idea of online schooling has been brought up, and I'm trying to help find more information out (and, as usual, thought Mumsnet might be able to help!).
They are looking through a few providers, and want somewhere where she will have the ability to interact with other students, at least some live lessons/tuition, and that won't cost the earth!
I wondered if anyone had been in a similar situation, and can help? Having looked through quite a few different websites, we're beginning to worry that maybe we've missed something really good just because it hasn't shown up in our search results, and someone with personal experience would really be able to help us there.
Thanks in advance!
