Please help need links on gcse study leave

[colettemum3]

My 17 year old daughter goes to a special school. They started her gcse's a year late, no reason given.
She's been having a lot of problems with her science teacher and basically he has not taught her at all. She now spends her time outside the classroom teaching herself.
She mentioned it to her class teacher today. To only be told that in secondary school's GCSE students are now on study leave etc.

I NEED a link so that i can print off and send my daughter in to school tomorrow stating otherwise.

As i know that her 16 year old sister is not on study leave and is still attending lessons at her mainstream school. Her teacher has told her that's it's now illegal to do study leave.

I am just fed up with the school feeding my daughter lies.

Thank you.

i know that.
The point is that she's capable of doing GCSE.
She's doing both (she had no choice as he was only teaching entry), although her entry qualifications are not going to help her get on her sport course. The issue is that she is pathway 3 which is GCSE. And the fact is that he has just concentrated on just teaching the entry level students.

The only thing that he has given her is past papers and they are not even the correct papers. There has been no study group and no LSA and no extra work. If she had not been teaching herself she wouldn't have the knowledge to answer the questions in the gcse papers.

She has been teaching herself GCSE, she has got the ability to get the C. The only reason she's not doing a higher paper is down to the level of language required to get the higher mark.

In maths however, the teacher has split the group up, the entry students work with a LSA under the guidance of the teacher and the GCSE group work with the teacher. This teacher quite often gives my daughter extra work. My daughter has been scoring very highly in foundation and is on target touch wood to get the C grade.
