Can my son take Functional Skills for Maths and English instead of GCSEs?
This is at a mainstream school with ARP (which covers Maths and English). He has an EHCP and school think he will struggle even with the Functional Skills, but they say as a mainstream school they cannot let him only do the FS, he has to do the GCSEs in both subjects as well.

Is it a reasonable adjustment for a sen pupil to discontinue or reduce studying foreign languages
Interested both at KS3 level but more GCSE - I have heard that parents can refer to a legal clause that should allow all pupils with sen to be given the choice to avoid studying Modern Foreign language at GCSE. I am a senco in an independent school in London where we are investigating more optionality. Like many schools, to date it has been mandatory to study at least one MFL at GCSE, and several more lower down the school.
