Science

I’m in year 11 at school, doing my exams in two months. In December I was moved down to foundation science as I stopped working in lessons. (There was some stuff going on in my life and in school with my abusive ex and my school did nothing about it so I got mad at them and stopped working and skipped lessons and walked out of school constantly.) The issues are somewhat resolved now and I got 49/70 on my Physics mock that I took 2 weeks ago, 51/70 on my Biology and 54/70 on Chemistry. There are people who got around 30-40/70 on each paper who have been asked to sit a higher teir paper in comparison to see if they can be moved back to higher. I have asked if I can also take the higher paper as I know I am capable of it, and would rather try and fail than not try at all. I have asked for this so many times in the past 2 weeks and have been refused each time, and the head of science’s reason is “I think moving you to foundation was the best thing we’ve ever done for you and I know you aren’t clever enough to take higher” which really ****ed me off. I’ve always been in the higher set, achieving grade 7’s and 8’s, until the start of this year where I dropped to 3’s and 4’s. I’m now preforming at a 5.5 which is the highest possible grade in combined foundation science. I have worked so hard since december to get my grades back up, most nights I wouldn’t sleep due to revising. I told the head of science that I would do anything to at least try but he still completely refused. I know I am capable of it; I take GCSE combined higher and triple science Mocks in my free time and get them marked and I’m getting 7’s on them. So I don’t unde why I don’t even deserve a chance to prove myself. Is there anything anyone can think of for me to try or to say to the head of science to try and persuade him to give me a chance?
