[brimfull]

dd wants proof ...and I would like some as well.

education.guardian.co.uk/schools/comment/story/0,,2068881,00.html

gives some info but doesn't mention ban.

we stopped it 2 years ago

They still have year 11 study leave at DD3's school and she wil have it for her mocks which start in a fortnight. DD1 now 20 always said she revised a lot better at home than at school. I actually think it is good for children to have time at home during their exams.

The study leave starts when the exams start so she will just go in when she has an exam.

mine would spend the time in bed probably

just want evidence of what waws being said on this thread

It's up to schools, as far as I know, rather than being a clear "ban". We stopped it about 4 years ago and I think schools get extra money for keeping them in school. Most of ours wouldn't revise at home, so we keep them as long as possible (inner-city school)!!!
