"Science" reports

Hi,

My DD is in year 10, studying all 3 sciences as separate subjects. She has just received a snapshot review from school, which gives me a grade for effort / grade for ability (so no wording - we have a parents evening next term).

Despite doing the three individual sciences (and to be clear she will do three individual GCSEs) she has just got one blended science grade. What are other peoples experiences in terms of something like this?

In my view this isn't helpful and I think we should get three separate grades for three separate subjects - they might as well lump her history and geography in together and tell me a humanities grade!!

@joyinthegloom

Out of interest, what happened in the school reports in Years 7, 8 and 9?
Upper school system here so no yr 7 or yr 8. Year 9 was the same but at least then I could see that some of the children would be doing combined science for gcse and that the school at that point in time had little to go on.

This really has all been extremely helpful, thank you to everyone for their comments

I recommend talking to the teachers. Maybe make a list of your concerns on a piece of paper. And then email or phone the school up asking to meet with the teacher in order to discuss the report face to face.
