Of course. None of my year 11s (I don't teach a top set) are predicted higher than a B. Most of them are predicted, and targeted, less than a C.

What's the betting there's even more A* results than usual again this year?

Seriously though, I think mumsnetters have a disproportionately high percentage of high achieving kids (all that being left to their own devices while their mums surf, clearly boosts their intelligence).

We've not been given a formal list of predictions but Ds is expected to get As. Whether or not he actually does remains to be seen. Sometimes I think A predictions can be a bad thing & lead to complacency, whereas lower predictions might result in socks being pulled up.
