Question Posted Wednesday August 30 2006, 9:11 pm
I missed a lot of secondary school......................and as a result have only gained a few 'G' grades in my GCSEs.(apart from a C grade at English) HELP! have i got no future? What are my options? I live in England. HELP!!!!
I know that a lot of weight is put on GCSE exams. I also live in England and went through a similar ordeal. I missed three months of school due to illness and had to drop some of the exams.
There are still options open to you but what you need to do is speak to someone like Connexions, who help you work out the next step. You can take your GCSE's over if you want to but you need to do, I believe, the two years over. You could also leave school and study these separately at a college or you could do an apprenticeship through a college.
I don't know where you are from in the UK, but the Council where I live have an Adult Learning Service and there is a College nearby that help with situations like this. I expect this will be the same for every county.
Please seek some advice from Connexions, your local county council and local Colleges. Although I can't tell you specifically what you need to do next, they will be able to and they will help you find the right way to do it.

What matters now is you work harder for your A-levels.
You can always see a careers advisor. They help with things like this. Research Connexions. They're good! [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
