E in GCSE mock exam?!

My mum received a special card in the post yesterday from my sisters school saying they were extremely pleased with her work and efforts and she had acheived her target grade in her mock exam.

My mum was over the moon until that night she was told the grade was an E!

Why is an E even a target grade and why on eartth would they send home a card as if it was a good grade??

I know the school has very low expectations of its pupils (only 10% pass GCSE benchmark, special measures, VERY disadvantaged area...) but E??

Can you afford private tuition? If so I would get some in quick - it can only help her - all DC benefit from one on one - especially AS pupils.

I wish her - and you - well
