Correction: Michaela School did have entries for Geography GCSE last year, they must've changed it. Birbalsingh focuses on a narrow curriculum and drills them so they get high marks in that limited number of subjects. www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/school/14086...
So they only allowed three students to do individual sciences? Surely those are the norm for anyone that wants to do science at A Level or beyond.
Interesting that there was only 1 Spanish GCSE candidate. The entries with limited candidates show that they are not going to affect her tables. Limited curriculum is not doing anything right for the kids!
are there any other art subjects other than photography ?
no, I don't believe so.
sounds about right
So basically she's gaming the system to get good Ofsted results rather than providing a rounded education? Doesn't surprise me in the least.
This makes me so sad.... 3 entries at biology/chemistry and physics. Which means they almost all take double science instead and can't take it at A level.
I don't think it's all that unusual to not offer triple award. I moved school in year 11 and went from one that did offer it to one that didn't. New one offered all three science subjects at A level. Was thirty years ago though. And I suspect anyone with any sense goes elsewhere for sixth form.
Put it this way, if I had had that weirdo as my headmistress I would be out of there the second I had sufficient agency.
Compulsory RS, the much easier double award science and one foreign language. That’s a school that is shortchanging education for results.
