There is an old song - things can only get better, sadly, just after that was an anthem we had Tony Blair leading us into Genocide...
I digress though, today things managed to get worse.
Now, G gawd bless her summed the situation up well.
"I got there it looked like a school, it smelled like a school and it was built like a school. It has classrooms with desks like a school and a whiteboard like a school. It had a cwtch like a little kids school. That makes it a school, if I could cope with a school I would be going to one."
Lovely summing up of the situation. She then went on to say she wanted to continue with her current educational arrangement. She said she would try to go to school but was not sure she could.
Soo back to the possibilities there has been significant vagueness over what she would be doing at this new facility.
A couple of days ago the position was, she was doing GCSE's in English Lang & Litt, she was being entered with 2 others to do GCSE Maths in November this year.
As of this moment we have been told of GCSE's she might be doing. No guarantees.
From the best I can work out
English language is taught by someone with an impressive academic CV, who is not a teacher.
Here in Wales, unlike Goveland we have these quaint ideas, to work as a doctor you actually have to be a registered and qualified doctor. To be a teacher you need to be a registered and qualified teacher, and this person is not.
English Literature might be taught by her current tutor, but it might not .
She might also get GCSE Science, would be a plus, taught by a qualified primary school teacher.
Who is going to be teaching maths is a great mystery, her current maths tutor has been told he is not allowed to enter his three students for the November exam. Whether he gets to work in the unit is not clear. We were told yesterday he might be too busy. Maybe the caretaker is at a lose end for a couple of hours a day.
To be fair, they did pick up on her interest in horses and they promised she would get her some work in a famed local stable - but actually they didn't, what they really did was say they knew about the stables.
G - good on her spotted that one too.
We do have a plan though - it will be a suprise - and we all like suprises don't we.

I am thankful when my young person who couldn't manage school we had access to an amazing team who worked out of a small ancient primary school that was such a mish mash of rooms it didn't resemble a modern school. It was the truly supberb staff that turned things around.
