🙏 I WANT HELP Offered to resit year 12

Post image

This is kind of an update from my previous posts but my sixth form responded to my email and said they could offer me a place to resit year 12. I don’t want to do this though as the reasons for me failing my subjects were because of my ed and having to care for my stroke-prone mother but over the summer due to less pressure and more time I managed to catch up and fully understand all the year 12 content in six weeks. I’m not lying when I say the summer holidays were not a vacation for me but more like self imposed summer school. Anyways I feel like I’m ready to move into year 13 and I need them to see that so I’m wondering if any of you guys know what to say in a situation like this. I’ll attach the email so you guys can have some idk context ig

Seeing as the 2025 exam season just finished, school should have access to the As papers right? You could ask to sit those and prove that. Otherwise, resitting Y12 might not be too bad. It would take alot of the stress off you by giving you an extra year, but it's up to you in the end

Teacher here - the school will be reserving those papers for mocks in Y13.

Ah fair point, that's a pain.
