Note that I am from the U.K and am taking my A-Levels, Coursework accounts to up to 60% of the coursework grade.

My daughter when studying for her GCSE's was given a lot of course work and she studied every single night yes I gave her the day off to complete a piece of course work and yes she did study all day from 9am until midnight to get it done. She got an A so it was worth all the hours she put in.
I see nothing wrong in having day off as long as one you are not going to miss to much in college that day and that second you use the time do do what it is intended for finishing course work.
My daughter is now doing her first year at college her work load has doubled and she studies every single night at least three hours. Saturday is her day off to do what she wants but that is it! She has managed her first year without a day off as she has learnt to pace herself.
Good luck I know how hard A levels are and she has just done many hours blood sweat and tears for her Art who ever said Art was easy is mad.

I've been there myself. I'm now doing my third and final year of my Crime Scene Science degree.
Yes coursework is important and needs to be given the appropriate amount of time to do it properly, but that being said you also need to go to class. When i was doing my A-levels i was given useful information that helped me do my coursework properly. I was also given useful information and tips that helped me with my exams.
You have to balance spending your time on your coursework and going into class. Don't totally rely on your coursework to get your through your A-levels, you need to work on your exams as well.

Welllll, i want to say no, because you might miss some important stuff relating to your course work and exams. Dont you guys get time off for write ups anymore? However, I am currently studying towards a degree and I have 'accidently' missed a lecture in order to research instead. This did mean I missed out on relevant stuff in the lecture though. So i suggest you try and catch up after school instead.

how much will u miss by missing the day? i think you will just get further behind - go to school early and sit down some where quite and do coursework do that every day for a week and you'll be up to date without missing out on more

I am sure the school is aware of the importance of coursework, but also be aware that attending school is also important, and missing that might leave you behind in other areas.
Perhaps you should try and organise your time better in the first place

Yes it will if you stuck into your coursework and manage to complete a lot of it in that one day. Otherwise if your not you might as well go to school.

It depends. If you are missing lessons that you know you can easily catch up with and is not the subject that you are behind with on your coursework, then it should be ok.
But if you are missing the same subject that you are already behind on, it won't work trust me. You'll just get more and more behind.

OK tell me-----who grades your A levels?
Who is friends with the people who grade your A levels?
Are these people the people you take courses from?
If so-you better show your face in class.
