However, what do you do when the majority have already covered and learnt the syllabus? Do teachers have different approaches? I suppose they have to follow the school policy?
That being the case though I'd suggest that the teacher went back over some of the more difficult topics so that the pupils could get a better understanding of them and improve their chances of getting a better grade. Then maybe try out some past exam papers together. I'd see this as preferable than introducing A-level topics to GCSE class. If some of the ultra-bright kids find this "boring" then tough!
