hpsaucey Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 PE I think they do anyway, but can be taken as a GCSE option. Assume you've looked at the GCSE guide from their website:http://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/attachments/download.asp?file=1262&type=pdf Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/230174-charter-gcses/#findComment-1350240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 English is 2 GCSEs plus Maths plus Science is 2 or 3 GCSEs plus 4 choicesSo that?s 9 or 10Why 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 linearWhen I was at school, in the dark ages, we used to take 6 or 8 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/230174-charter-gcses/#findComment-1350533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ole Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/230174-charter-gcses/#findComment-1350567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
seenbeen Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 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...

cactus Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I suspect 7 means, English/Maths/Science, plus 4 other subject choices. As others have pointed out, the core subjects will be sub divided, so students often end upwith at least 9 GCSEs.

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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/230174-charter-gcses/#findComment-1350940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
