Charter GCSEs


Ole

Recommended Posts

English is 2 GCSEs plus Maths plus Science is 2 or 3 GCSEs plus 4 choices


So that?s 9 or 10


Why would you want to do more? Another school forced my eldest into taking 14 for no reason that benefitted him that I could see.


GCSEs are increasing in difficulty since they all became linear


When I was at school, in the dark ages, we used to take 6 or 8

Yes, dark ages me too which is why I'm asking as I know things have moved on. 14 sounds ridiculous, I think 9 is the norm. From the website it looked as only 7 so that's why I asked - I didn't know science counted as two etc.

There is potential to do 3 GCSEs in Science and 3 in Maths (Maths, Stats and Additional maths) so that's 6 for a start (I do not know about the Charter school though)...some are done in year 10. BUT to get a decent A level A/A* grades are needed in the GCSE....some schools are happy for the student to get a C grade....and will enter them early...does not do the future of the student any good especially since Universities will look at GCSE attainments...

No longer true I?m afraid, grades are 0-9 and they are all linear so I don?t believe you can take any early. All have to be at end of 2 Year course so unless they start some in year 9 this won?t happen. I?m not sure if taken early they get included in national tables


That are certainly harder

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
