Year 10 2026/27 Support

[Walkingbkwrm]

As the thread for my eldest has been so helpful over the last couple of years, thought I would start one for DS2 going into yr 10 for anyone in the same GCSE cohort before he goes back to school.

Anyone welcome!

Another one with no idea what he wants to do for A Levels or further.

I'm sure school will start bugging him about work experience school soon but at the moment we are just getting used to the extra homework and trying to get him to enjoy English. As a STEM boy he doesn't see the point of it

How are the DC settling in to Yr10? DS seems fine, homework is slowly ramping up but he never has had much in earlier years so it’s still very manageable. We haven’t managed to get work experience sorted yet, doesn’t seem that there are many opportunities in our semi-rural area but we need to find something or he’ll spend a week in school doing it virtually!

All good here so far. DD managing to just about keep up with the homework alongside the socialising. Wants to do work experience at the local surf place as we Iive near the coast, is going to ask them this weekend if they might have her. She has also approached library and been given a form to complete but apparently others have also enquired!
