Re take of gcses

If you want to re take your gcses, will you attend revision/ classes with other year 12s that are re-taking or will you be in a class with other year 11s. Yes it is a trivial question but genuinely want to know.

Generally sixth forms only put on re-take classes for Maths and English language. If you want to retake anything else then you have to teach yourswelf. This year may be different though.

I don't think schools will have the staff available to put on other classes - recruitment of staff is going to be an issue.

I tend to agree, but given the level of uncertainty about next year I left it open.
This depends on what college/sixth form you go to. If there is a lot of people resitting, you will probably have your own class.

Where will the teachers come from for this? There's no space in a school timetable for additional classes ...

There generally isn't funding for people to re-sit qualifications in subjects other than GCSE English Language and Maths so this is unlikely.
