GCSE Choices

I've just returned from a meeting at Drama Teen's High School, regarding her GCSE choices. This is a new thing for the school to be doing, they didn't do it when LMS was making her decisions. It was perhaps less helpful for us and Drama Teen than it would be for some other children/parents, as she has already got very clear ideas of what she wants to take and why. The Deputy Head was quite happy with her choices and reasons behind them, so now we just have to endure a meeting (all Year 9 pupils and parents) on Thursday, before we can make the choices official. I don't think Thursday is going to change anything so her are the choices from the Drama Teen Jury - Law, Combined 3 Sciences, Geography and Computer Animation. She is also required to take English, Maths, PE, RE and PSE, Drama Teen has also chosen to take an extra lesson in RE, to make the course into a full GCSE course. I hope that Drama Teen took note of what the Deputy Head told her that the Combined 3 Science course is a heavy workload, and that she needs to be organised to be successful in the Law course. She has the ability to do well in all her courses - so long as she puts in the sustained effort needed :-)

lol you're probably right, but I'm sure she will put the effort in as she can be an exceedingly determined young lady :-)
