Dd is coming to the end of year 10 in a large mainstream secondary. They’ve still only covered one and a half of the AQA literature texts. A Christmas Carol finished in January, and they’ve been on Macbeth ever since. The class she’s in is an Act behind her friends classes due to her teacher being unwell for two weeks, and the sub teachers just went over what they’d already covered at that point.
Is this standard at this point in year 10 and am I worrying unnecessarily? They still need to finish Macbeth, then even if they start An Inspector Calls this term, there’s also all the poetry to cover. They haven’t done any themes, or exam questions / past papers, exam skills etc. Is it normal for all this to be crammed into year 11?!
