A girl I used to speak to in my games class got pregnant at 15 and she stayed in school right up until we broke up for the summer holidays. And another close friend of mine had a pregnancy scare not long ago. Smh kids these days
Secondary schools are idiots .... If your friend is due after taking her GCSEs exams I'd tell her to not tell the school (obviously tell parents and stuff) it can obviously be hard to cover up pregnancy toward the end but even if she gets kicked out she could always pay to be a private candidate to take GCSEs exams which isn't that much money .... GCSEs are pretty much worthless BUT you need 5 A*-C to go to college ... Which is not at all hard ... 5 GCSEs = maths, English , science and maybe one more ... She may not be thinking about college after giving the birth but at least she'd have the option. Plenty of girls got pregnant at my school and the school kept them on for like a month and then found a way to kick them out
Towards the end of Year 10, a girl in my year got pregnant. She carried on at school, but left in October and had her baby in December. I believe she was planning on coming back to do her GCSE exams, and the school kept her on roll and was willing to let her sit her exams but she didn't do the exams in the end.

Being able to take exams as a private candiadte is both awkward (it is very hard to find anywhere to let you take any controlled assessment) and expensive. If you can find somewhere to let you take a single GCSE, without any controlled assessment, for £50 you'll be doing well, £100 is more likely and possible considerably more. You're looking at £500 for a basic set of GCSEs. I don't call that cheap.
some pretty mean replies there! In case you want a serious response, there are special teaching units in every county called PRU (pupil referral unit) where students can go if pregnancy is difficult to manage at school, these are schools that offer GCSEs the same as mainstream schools and they are free. Any school can send a pupil there if they find it hard to attend their usual school. Being pregnant is not the end of education and people should not judge. School will be supportive so she shouldn't hide it, but get all the help she will need.
It would make toilet labor tricky. do you think you could tell the difference between dropping the kids off at the pool and, well... lol I also think people would question their wife's loyalty to them on first inspection of the baby
well you only know til you've done it yourself... why, because the baby would be covered in brown sh**?
