Maintenance and child repeating year 13

[Blushingm]

DD thinks she will be repeating year 13. Would maintenance continue as she will still be in full time education or will it stop as she will be over 18?

How will the repeat of year 13 be funded?

It will continue as long as she's ft and under 20. But not uni.

Schools have funding for 3 years of KS5 so it's free. child benefit continues if a child is in non uni education upto age 20 so I'd presume cm would too.

Schools have some funding in some circumstances , but not all, or even most circumstances

🤷🏼‍♀️ they do here, across the the borough. Includes doing initial years at school then switching to college.

As long as school/ college can justify it and there aren't more than 5% of the cohort repeating its unlikely to be challenged

But it's an issue for the school to resolve not your DD. If they are suggesting she repeats, then that would assume they are satisfied it allow an additional year of funding.

She thinks she's failed her exams so will resit - school have said she can
