My DD is still a way off
So no time to consolidate
Is this standard?
When do they normally finish and start revising and working on gaps?
Tks

We normally aim to finish by Easter, unless it's a really late Easter. I know that science seem to run to the wire in our school as I think they have far more stuff to cover.

We've got a few topics to cover yet too (Science). We'll still have a bit of revision time :)

No.

I've just finished with my foundation group but I gave them a past paper to see what they know and on the first paper they all get less than half marks. This was with no preparation, so I am hoping when we review it, they will go "oh yes I remember that". Otherwise we have a lot to do.

ds2 has not finished the curriculum in most subjects - most are teaching up until Easter, I think.

English language is skills-based; they finished all the coursework about 4 months ago, so it's just exam skills practice and prep now. But they will also spend about 6 weeks studying the play for English Lit, I think.

In music I think they may have finished the curriculum, as well as all coursework. They have performance assessments later this half term (individual and group), then exam practice.

Only for maths I think.

I think (double) science and history will be done by half term though.
2 CAs still to do for both MFLs, one whole class redo for English lang.

Some subjects yes, some no.

I believe all CAs, ISAs etc are finished.

The plan is to be done by half term .
