No I don't but it is very common to reduce the contact time if there are fewer than 4 or 5 on the course... shame I never get extra lessons for a big class :lol:

There are only two students in my eldest DS's ICT A2 class (there was a mix up with the timetable and they agreed to keep the class running). He said his lesson time is not reduced, it is the same as all his other lessons.

So sorry Belinda, I obviously didn't read your question properly! :oops: It's been one of that days. :?

Thank you. That's another story. Eldest DS was speaking to form tutor on Tuesday saying he was glad the UCAS form had gone off and his tutor said 'oh yes, I'll give that to the Head of Sixth Form today.' :shock: He has obviously been sitting on it. DS is going to check that it has actually gone off today. :(

Hi Fran - ours has taken a while to go as well - my daughter got an e-mail yesterday from UCAS to say the application has been received, so that's more than a week since she believed it had gone :shock:

Thank you LFH! Hopefully my DS will get one of those emails next week. :D I hope all those offers start pouring in for your DD!.

Edited to add it is now with Head of Sixth Form and should be sent off to UCAS on Monday. :D
