DS in S4 and getting ready to sit NAT 5s, although after shit prelim results I'm not holding my breath. He is adamant he's not staying on but is the youngest in his year and is only just 15, so can't leave until Christmas at the earliest. I'm hoping he will change he his mind and stay on to complete 5th year once he finds out all his friends are but, he is talking about doing an apprenticeship and the school have said he can start a foundation one which would entail one day at college and 4 days in school for the rest of his curriculum. Has anyone any experience of this? He's a bright kid but lazy and disengaged. Good at music, and wants a job in computing, gaming, coding, tech, engineering type things..
