What is the drama GCSE exam like?

What the difference between GCSE,s and level 3?

  • My lad is year 10 I have noticed rather then doing English Gcse,s he is doing level 3 but is doing science and maths as well as geography and drama Gcse,s He has learning support and is on an Essex action plan+ could a secondary school teacher (uk)explain what this level is I wanted to removing him from school as he has ASD and has really struggled but his tutor has swayed my son to stay promising she will drop him so he only takes 1 science Gcse, and stop him doing PE I thought PE is was compulsory ? I dont know if its right to force a less able child to be under so much stress for Gcse,s after all where do Gcse,s get you? Is it just a routine exam now that every child has to sit? could he go on to college without Gcse,s??? I would be grateful please for a teachers response

  • Answer:

    I'm not a teacher sadly but have some experience in this matter as a foster carer for a boy with Asperger's Syndrome and other related problems. We struggled to keep him in school as he is very bright and able but had difficulty engaging with this peers. He is now (aged 15) at a college of further education doing a limited number of GCSEs with no requirement to do PE or courses in which he struggled. The course is a combined year 10 and 11 course as he effectively missed out on the whole of year 10. It is working well for him and is much less stressful than being in a school. He has less lessons and is less the focus of attention so can be himself. He is doing very well at the subjects he is doing and like to get A-Cs for them. This might be something you may like to consider. Perhaps contact your local college.

It should be possible for him to do a reduced timetable at school. Without PE and any subjects that stress him. That he is SA+ is good and perhaps his school should be working toward a statement. GCSEs are level 2 exams and he can get grades A* to G. You need to know his predicted grades You need to contact the school and ask for an appointment with the Special Needs Co-Ordinator (SENCO) and discuss your son's needs and educational future. That he is considered for GCSEs is good. I am confused about the English Level 3 as level 3 exams are the next step up from GCSEs, Unless it is something like the Key English Test. This again is something you should discuss with your son's school.
