My son got his results yesterday. Lower by at least one grade and some of them two lower than his last mocks. There wasn’t a time all through the course that he wasn’t predicted 7s for English and in PE he was predicted a solid 7, maybe an 8. He ended up with 5s in all except maths where he got a six! In French, where he was predicted a 5, he got a U. It’s not that I’m angry, just completely baffled! He revised solidly, he had 100 per cent attendance and as I say, his mocks were solid. I expected 7s, 6s and maybe an 8 or two with a good wind. I don’t quite know what happened and it’s hard to ask in real life. He’s a bit despondent but ultimately has got in at sixth form so just wants to forget about it. But I just wanted to know if it’s a him issue (stress?!) whether the school consistently over predicted or if the grade boundaries were moved?
