GCSEs

NAS79333

My daughter has just been diagnosed and has not attended school full time for much of year 11 as the anxiety has been overwhelming for her. 4 weeks ago she took an overdose and has not been back in school since or managed to do any school work at home.

GCSEs are just a few weeks away. She has dropped most optional subjects leaving just the core subjects and one other.
We have met with school and she will be in a small room with 5 others and will be allowed up to 30 mins break outside of the room. We did think her own room would be best but she would prefer not to just be with the invigilator as she will feel they are watching her. 

Has anyone been through GCSEs? Is this the best way forward? She is desperate to stay for sixth form at her current school, although we have no idea how she will cope with that but just want to make sure she has the best shot.

  • hiya,

    How is your daughters exams going? 

    I didn't really do GCSEs as they were supposed to be last year so i didn't do the actual exams which meant we ended up doing far more than most years which wasn't so fun. i totally understand why she wants to stay at 6th form, that's what i did and it was totally the right decision. Warn her that the first few weeks of 6th form are hell but after that it does get better. are her school ok with her doing 6th form if she doesn't get the grades... due to circumstances?
