Thanks Piggy, Good advice. She's looking at Brookes because it's local and she already works as a sports coach (in the sport she used to compete in) and so she could continue her part time job.
The Sociology course is Eduqas. I teach AQA and there are two options either crime or international development. She'd look at the crime one.
Or it's a BTEC in Sport. Again, most units local to us accept it, except UWE. But she's not bothered about going there..
It's difficult making the decisions without having sat the exams. Ordinarily, I'd have said see how you perform in the exams, and that will give some idea. But without them, it makes subject choice so much harder. Eg, she did really well in year 10 PE, was definitely going to do that, had great grades etc... but then, the teacher changed for year 11, she didn't like the new teacher as much, struggled more, grades weren't as good etc. Impossible to know whether grades were better in year 10 because of the teacher or the work.... so cannot get an objective measurement of where she's at.
I think this is what we've found most difficult with not sitting GCSE exams.
