Hi
Does anyone have any experience of appealing predicted A level grades?
DS has been predicted ABC.
He got all As and A* in his GCSEs. He was on the Oxbridge list at his state school.
He stated A levels at predicted A A A.
However in January he was assaulted on his way home from School. It has a massive effect on him and he slumped into depression. Things didn't seem to go his way all the rest of the year. Various other things.
The school were aware but the teacher who predicted him the C said it was lack of work ( true, he wasn't in the mood) but also the jump from GCSE to A level. Not sure about this.
He can only appeal the C to B and even that is doubtful as the subject (science) is notoriously difficult to persuade to raise the grade. The teacher that gave the C is now promoted to the position he would have to appeal the grade to. He has 2 weeks to appeal so no time to really show his abilities.
The summer break has helped and he's feeling more himself and wants to get back to the A grades he was used to
For all those reading who have DC you will know that these grades will make a big difference to the University he can apply to.
Any parents or teachers have any experience please?
