My 15yo DD is struggling with anxiety and attending her current school (already small class sizes and good behaviour so that's not the problem): Has anyone entered in year 11? What was your childs experience? Especially interested in anyone who's attempted to do a complete GCSE from scratch in one year as DD will need to do 2 science subjects. Doesn't struggle academically, so workload shouldnt be a problem if content & support is availbale. tx.

I have no experience of that particular academy, but we know several children who attend one to one tutorial colleges and complete their GCSEs in one year. As far as I understand it, this is more than possible assuming the child finds learning relatively easy and has a good tutor.
