Good morning everyone,
We got our results yesterday and our son was 1 (or 2) marks shy of a 121 pass, with 120.5.
Verbal 116
Mathematical 129
Non-verbal 121
We have an appointment with the HM of our school on Monday, in Bucks, so I believe the HM recommendation will have been made ahead of time. I understand a 1:1-2:2 position will be necessary.
In terms of other results he has the following;
Year 5
Reading - Secure On Track, Good
Writing - Secure On Track, Good
Maths - Greater Depth, Good
Year 4
Reading - Expected, Good
Writing - Expected, Good
Maths - Greater Depth, Good
Year 3
Reading - Greater Depth, Good
Writing - Expected, Good
Maths - Greater Depth, Good
Year 2
Reading - all Expected
Writing - all Expected
Maths - mix of Expected & Greater Depth
Year 1
Reading - all Expected
Writing - all Expected
Maths - mix of Working Towards & Expected
I assume we will see the predicted Y6 estimates alongside the HT recommendation on Monday.
The data over the last 6 years shows between a 69% and 86% success rate for 120 scores, it doesn’t give data on 120.5.
1 mark on verbal or 2 marks across maths & non verbal would have seen him over the line.
His grandmother passed away unexpectedly - out of the blue - in February which has made for a difficult year for all of us, he had quite a difficult time which may have impacted his overall preparation but obviously it was a number of months prior to the exam.
His brother (Y8) passed and is at the local Grammer, and thriving.
Subject to finding out a little more on Monday does anyone have any thoughts about likely Selection Review outcomes?
That he passed 2 and missed 1, the 50% weighted verbal, would count in his favour I think?
Grateful for any comments and I’ll update again on Monday after the meeting with our HT.
