juliamj1 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi, has anyone moved to Perth after their child has sat GCSES? We are looking to move in August this year. My daughter will have sat her GCSEs. I have been told that the school we choose will apply for Year 11 credit based on her GCSE results. Has anyone had experience of this?

ali Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Not heard of it before but if the school can apply for credits then they must be able to. Normally, many would suggest trying to start year 11 and it's a two year course, year 12 is very short as they finish round about October for exams (if they're doing ATAR). Which school have you spoken to - or who has told you they'll apply for credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliamj1 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 The 3 schools I'm looking at have all said the same about applying for credit from GCSE results & also the WA School Curriculum Standards Authority. I was just wondering if anyone had personal experience & how their children faired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qprdan123 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hi, we are in the same situation, which schools have you spoken to about this?, we have spoken to a couple of schools that have said to bring school reports and any certificates etc. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 They will ask for school reports and copies of course work as they need to get some idea of the level your child is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornishpoms13 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 My daughter is meant to be taking hers next year. We were going to wait until next July until we move! But after speaking to the school we'd like her to attend, we were told GCSES don't can't for much is anything and it would be more important that she arrived for the start of year 11 end of January!

That's always been my understanding - I know A levels are transferable as I know of a family whose daughter stayed in UK to complete A levels and then got accepted in Uni here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliamj1 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi Dan, apologies for the delay, I haven't been on for a while. We are looking at Duncraig SHS, St Marks & did look at Carine SHS (not going there now) all 3 schools have said they will apply for credit for my daughters GCSE results. When are you looking at moving? We have previously lived in Perth so have experience of the schools we are considering. Its not the ideal time for our eldest daughter but a job opportunity for my husband has arisen that we don't feel we can pass up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
