Natural History GCSE

Absolutely everyone would benefit from this vital subject. If we don’t understand the natural world we live in then we are the poorer for it.

I have nothing at all against this as a subject.

However, at a time when, according to Rachel Reeves, there is no money available, why are we messing around introducing new GCSE subjects when we need to be concentrating more on children with special educational needs and disabilities across the age groups?

Perhaps those children would benefit from the subject, too?

Quite probably. I didn't say they wouldn't benefit.

But there's far more to be ironed out for them in terms of their all round education between years 1 and 9 before they embark on a science based GCSE, imo.

If money were no object, then no problem.

My 2 youngest GD's who are a few years off GCSE will be very excited about this. Just up their street.

That does sound good: I can think of one of my GC who would love this. Her Daddy is a Zoology graduate.
