Are Year 10 and 12s being forgotten about by the Government?

With everything going on at the moment and the recent announcements of school and exam closures so much has changed so quickly. However, although we have heard at least the initial plans for GCSE and A-level exam plans, undoubtedly all year groups are affected.

I wanted to know if students in Year 10 and 12 felt they had been given enough information regarding their learning and the impact that the school closures are likely to have on your learning. What is likely to be the impact on you when the schools reopen and you have missed a term worth of lessons with teachers face to face? Do you think there are any possible disadvantages when you return to school and do you think your next year should be assessed differently when it's your turn to tackle your GCSE or A-levels?

How are you finding working from home, are you managing to do all the work you are being set and staying motivated? Do you access to all the resources you need including good quality internet connection?

As above Year 10 and Year 12s are not a priority right now we might as well add Year 9s or even Year 6 (for SATs) to this

but yeah Year 11 and 13s are the focus right now, then deal with Year 12, 10 and 9

No offense to them, but at the moment, they aren't a priority. Let everyone work out what is happening with the exams and then focus on how Y10s and Y12s could be helped. Even then, I don't see what help they could be given.

They will just have to learn how to self-teach content but it is possible. Everyone is going through the same situation in terms of having to self-teach the content.

I am currently a year 12, and I am hugely fortunate that I;
-Attend a college with a very strong IT infrastructure, and so I don't have problems accessing any materials I need, and lessons are still continuing online. I also have a large number of textbooks.
-Am highly self-motivated and am used to teaching myself content (for example, I got a 9 in GCSE Geography by teaching myself the specification due to not having a regular teacher for the majority of year 11).

However, I know that there are many year 12 and year 10's that are definitely feeling very forgotten, and uncertain with what to do. I also feel that many people find it hard to concentrate at home, or are in a home environment which makes it hard for them to focus on their A levels.

A list of points for those of you claiming we Year 12s 'aren't the priority right', to remind you that Year 12 is a very significant year. We now;
-Have no university open days/they are pushed back, harder for us to make an informed choice.
-Have had our work experience mostly cancelled (this is especially significant for those applying to courses like medicine, as @ghostmalone said above).
-Have had our mocks postponed-how will our predicted grades for universities work with this?
-Have had a large amount of activities that we could have done which would have been crucial for our personal statement basically deleted, we only have half personal statement pretty much.
-Have an uncertain exam future as we don't know how our mocks are going to go ahead, how our university application will work, and how our actual A levels will go ahead.

Regardless of what year you are in, or what qualification you are currently studying for, I wish you the best of luck in getting through this, you can do this !

What do you mean the y11s and y13s should be priortiised? They've already been told what will happen. With all due respect, yes i can understand for many people it is hugely frustrating you got lower grades than you were hoping, but at least you got a grade. We haven't got any grades, and somehow the government is expecting everything to be tickety-boo when we return, despite most schools not having any online lessons, low motivation to revise etc provide clarity. Cancel next year's exams if need be. we are going to miss SO much content, all my teachers are worried. not to mention we are missign mock exams that determine uni places....

Try being a year 12 in Wales. AS still counts towards A Level and we haven't got a clue what's going on.

what about year 12's in N.I and wales or Y12 BTEC students? looks like they've been harder than their year 13 peers. Oh dear " I don't see what help they could be given" what about lower grade boundaries, delaying the uni application deadline date, not doing uni offers based on work experience, offering online classes (mainly for Y10 and Y12) like they do in other countries and some schools in the UK etc? so much more can be done sorry!
