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

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 don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
    • This thread started about how to deal with pests that cause a lot of damage and leave unpleasant offerings, but has morphed into concerns about welfare for the pests.  I think it's time that local authorities gave us help with foxes and squirrels:  it's especially difficult trying to grow fruit and veg when these animals cause so much destruction.
    • Peter has been recommended many times on here and we can now also recommend him highly, having just had our wetroom walk-in shower done. Prompt response, came when he said, engaged with us helpfully when decisions had to be made, cleaned up well at the end and finished on time. He has been tiling 25 years, and is clearly expert. He also does e.g. victorian tiled pathways.   
    • They properly think " its that weirdo who gives us stage lighting whilst we ae mating, again'" 😅
