StephenC, If you read my replies im saying that providing the work gets covered and its all arranged with the school it shouldnt be a problem, the issue is kids missing a weeks schooling, if they do that work at another time though they havent missed it.

Your school sounds shite though so bad example, my state school was full of people getting all A's never mind all C and above, I even got my maths GCSE when I was 14, must be cause I didnt miss school and you did
