DS1's Spring report has just arrived. It is generally very good but there is just sooo much reporting of figures and soooo little information, if you know what I mean? I've got the grades listed again from his Autumn report, the new end of year target grades (presumably the same as in Autumn) although I will dig out the last report to check, his actual exam grades from April exams, numbers of nominations received in various classes,etc It's very comprehensive but there isn't a damn thing that indicates whether any of it is acceptable for his year.
Can someone tell me what a grade 7 for end of year exams in Yr9 would indicate in terms of GCSE grades? All his exams were 7s, mostly a and b. I do know this is good but is it good enough? There are three sentences of text which tells me almost nothing about whether he could try harder, do better or is absolutely extending himself at the moment. Sigh - it was never like this in our parents day.
