DD’s have now come in the post.

Wehaditsogood · 02/12/2024 15:17

DS got his last week.

DD picked hers up from school in Wednesday.

wonkylegs · 30/11/2024 10:57

Ours get theirs this week - pain in the bum timing as there is no sixth form they all go elsewhere and the school haven't thought about how the kids get there to get them in the times given.

Muchtoomuchtodo · 18/11/2024 16:52

I’d forgotten all about the certificates!

Emailed school to ask - they should be ready by the end of next week apparently!

Laserwho · 18/11/2024 15:51

Thanks, seems are arnt the only ones waiting.

Wehaditsogood · 18/11/2024 15:35

We have totally forgotten about the certificates. Thanks for reminding me. ⚘️

RunningAndSinging · 18/11/2024 11:48

We got the refund really quickly through the school. No certificates yet.

Tebheag · 18/11/2024 11:29

No certificates or even an email to tell us when or how he gets them.
We never paid for a remark school sent email for permission to request it then he had an email stating his grade had changed.

OhMrBennett · 18/11/2024 10:56

I haven't received certificates yet or refund on the remarked papers. Has anyone received their refund yet?

DC and friend each had one of their AQA RS papers reviewed at the request of the school. They were both one mark off a grade 9. One of them went up by a single mark and the other by two so both now have the 9. It's taken forever though!

@Knownoone what are the subjects? Is it maths by any chance? my DS's school did baseline tests in the first couple of weeks for maths. I guess they need to make sure that students are able to keep up.

RunningAndSinging · 25/09/2024 12:23

Drama came back unchanged so two subjects came back with no changes and all three science papers changed a little bit and the grade went up over the boundary. Nothing dramatic. It is worrying to hear about the big changes for some papers - I guess in the minority but it makes you lose faith in the system.

MrsHamlet , others any thoughts ?

It's Edexcel English Language Paper 2 - 2 marks off next grade - school have seen script and say it's worth a review

I'm happy to pay , just part of me is worried that on review could go down (he would need to lose 8 marks(

I think it's because it's English is why I'm dithering .... (that ir old age!)

Thank you

If they said it's worth a review, go for it.

whatsinanumber · 23/09/2024 12:31

@BeaLola in your situation I'd go for a remark. I think he's very unlikely to go down 8 marks and a 6 in Eng Lang is useful.

whatsinanumber · 23/09/2024 12:30

my dd was 1 mark off a 7 (having got an 8 in her mock and 9 in other practice papers at school) - she was advised by the school to get a remark and was told last week by a teacher that her grade has gone up (although we haven't had official confirmation from school yet).

BeaLola · 23/09/2024 11:46

BeaLola · 18/09/2024 18:15

I have DS English Language scrips back - 2 points off a 6 - the 6 would be handy acros his marks overall and for the future - is it worth asking for a review or is it to likely it could go the other way and go down to bc a 4

Pearson not AQA

@Spacecowboys No information anywhere. I spoke to the admissions head she stated this information is not anywhere but this is informed to the students on the first day of the school. I understand extra support but not allowing them to study at all this is insane. My child is ready to take extra classes if required. Also she is 7 in GCSE in one of the subjects, which I believe is a good grade.

Hello All,

Need your advice. My child got admission in one of the sixth forms for her choice of subjects. They never informed us it was conditional offer based on baseline testing neither verbally not written. Last week they have taken away her 2 subject choices since she dint clear her baseline testing. She can't do those subjects at all. They are very firm. We left admissions for so many schools because of this school and now this. Is this even legal. Please suggest.

Was there any written information regarding this on their sixth form website? Dc is doing tests this week, which are to assess suitability and implement support, if appropriate. But this information is on their website.

How do you find out the marks after a remark? DS just gut an email from teacher saying he had moved up a grade.

School emailed us a copy of the letter from the exam board with the original and reviewed mark and grade.
