When Are Predicted Grades Given - GCSE

General question here...

When did your school give your DC their predicted gcse grades. Spoke to a parent today whose child was given predicted grades at the end of each year’s summer report eg yr7 and yr8. Is this standard?

Does it vary depending on whether you attend a private or state school?

Can’t see how useful giving them that early would actually be. Year 9 seems about right, but what do I know!

What year did your DC receive theirs?

We don't give anything out at KS3. In year 10 we give target grades and then we report current working level (educated guesswork to be honest based on current work) throughout the course. We don't give any predicted grades as they are norm referenced each year so nobody can say.

My DC get a target grade and an expected grade for each subject in every report. Reports are given out at end of every term so 3 times a year, and then also half term so 6 times a year in yes 10 and 11. Target grade is apparently based on sats and doesn't alter it's there to measure their progress route. This is a state school.

Target grades in reports from year 7 onwards
Predicted grades in yr 11 and adjusted after mocks
