Need help from a high school teacher in the UK

Need help from a high school teacher in the UK?
my son is now in year 10 and he picked a subject which he now doesn't want to do, which is geography, he wants to do something in the music industry for a career, but the teacher that takes the class wont let him change to music because there is 28 people in the class, should i call them and tell them to let him do the subject or just leave it. ?

hey!! well im doing geography gcse (im in year 11)...and trust me if you don't like the subject....its going to be hard work. Im having great difficulties with my coursework right now....and i HATE geography if i had the chance i would've changed it but now obviously its too late. anyways if your son is really serious about a music career then if i were you i would go in to the school and have a wrod with head of year 10. If they don't do anything about it then go to the headteacher. You have to be tough to get what you want! its about his future. Also he has missed 1/2 term of music gcse. so he should be willing to catch up in his lunchtime and hometime. other wise he is behind. Tell this to the teacher aswell...that your son will catch up. good luck

28 people isn't much, so I'm surprised, and don't worry about catching up, i missed over an entire year of gcse and managed to catch up. talk to the head of year.

I'd go with an independent instructor in your area. Big driving schools like BSM and Red make you do a lot of lessons you do not need to make more money.

What is Queenswood School for girls (in the UK) like

What is Queenswood School for girls (in the UK) like?
I am considering applying to this school for my daughter. Is it any good? I am asking because prospectuses and ratings cannot always tell you everything. Does the school have a good anti-bullying policy? Are the girls polite etc. Any info would be a great help. Cheers!

These are questions that should be posed to the staff of the school. I would also request the names and contact details of other parents who have children attending the school, I would phone them and ask their opinions.
2 :
The best thing to do would be to read their most recent Ofsted report. If you know what type of school it is and where it is, search for it on Ofsted's website. You can download any report in pdf form. They focus on every aspect of a school. Heavy reading but just the introduction pages should tell you what you need to know.

I lived in London when I studied abroad through the London School of Economics - it was excellent. The best schools in Engand are Oxford and Cambridge - you can study at these schools - if your grades are good enough. I like London best but England is not a very large country and the train system works well so even if you go to school in another city, you can travel to other cities as well. Studying abroad is a great idea, truly one of the most wonderful experiences of my life and I am so grateful for having had the opportunity.
