My son obtained a C grade in his English coursework this summer but was unable to actually sit his exam due to glandular fever. He had been predicted to receive a C for English but the exam board gave him a D grade, he therefore 'failed' his exam.
The school have put him in for a resit in November. He had been due to sit a higher grade paper.
He has told me this evening that his school has grouped him in with the other pupils who had failed and they have all been told that due to failing the higher paper they will now all sit a foundation paper. He reminded his teacher that he didn't fail, just wasn't able to sit it. She told him that it didn't matter he will still now sit a foundation paper instead. Should I be concerned with this? My son isn't bothered, just as long as he passes.
I suppose I was hoping he may of gained a B grade if he only had one exam to concentrate on.
