We at Mumsnet HQ are working with the TES to find out about parents views on some important educational matters - please complete our survey!

This survey is open to Mumsnetters based in England and Northern Ireland only with at least one child in school between Reception and Year 11 (in the academic year ending July 2017).

Add our details at the end and you will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will get a £100 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

Here's the link: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2PBZWZF

thanks MNHQ

Morning all

Nostra (?) culpa on the year groups foul-up - apologies. We'll try to alter the answer options so that we have the NI and English equivalents alongside each other.

Help an English gal out... is this correct?

Reception = P1
Year 1 = P2
Year 2 = P3
Year 3 = P4
Y4 = P5
Y5 = P6
Y6 = P7
Y7 = P8
....
Y11 = P12

???

On the regrading: we took our info from this BBC explainer, which says that while the NI exam boards are not regrading, around one quarter of NI P12s will be taking English exam board GCSEs and so will be taking the new grading style. Has that been superseded?

Thanks, and apologies as ever for Anglomania

Thank you all!

So:

[English] Reception = [NI] P1
Y1 = P2
...
Y6 = P7
Y7 = Y8
...
Y11 = Y12

??

Noble tbh you've probably exposed one of the things that might cause employers/parents trouble about the letter grades, at least until people become more familiar with it. There seems to be quite a lot of public confusion on this point.

Thanks also for the info re NI pupils moving away from English exam boards. Taking all this into consideration it might be best for us to use England-only data for these questions when we run the sums, but we'll take a view when we've got all the responses in.
