My year 8 has just come home with an end of year report that shows he has stayed at the same level (5c) all year, below his target of 5a. He received a 1 for effort in autumn and 2s in the next two terms. His science teacher was full of praise for his attitude in the parents meeting in January so I cannot assume he just wasn't working hard enough. To be honest, he rarely gets homework and very few tests so I'm not sure how they even generate these grades. I have contacted the teacher but I'm not optimistic for a meeting before the end of term. His grades in the rest of the 'core' subjects (maths, geography, languages etc) were on target and all of his effort grades were fine. He's really upset and I want to help him.Any suggestions?
