GCSE Grades: Important Information for Year 11

by George Mitchell School
Comments are off

We appreciate these are worrying times and we are pleased to provide you with some clarity on what is going to happen with regards to GCSE grades.

You can find below, the official letter from Ofqual, the government body responsible for issuing exam grades, which explains the process in detail.

Please find a summary below:

  • The GCSE grade the students will receive this year in each of their subjects , called the calculated grade, will be based on three key pieces of information:
    • A predicted grade provided by subject teachers.
    • The order, by performance, of the students within each grade. A rank order of all the students in the year group for each subject.
    • Some historical data: the performance of the school in the past and also the students’ KS2 SATs scores.
  • The predictions will be fair, objective and true. Teachers will be predicting the most likely grade the student would have achieved if they had sat the exams. Teachers will use a range of evidence to form their predictions including mock grades, homework and class work performance. Some students may be worried that their mock exam grade was much lower than a grade they are capable of. Please be assured that teachers understand that mock grades are always lower than the final outcomes and will predict accordingly. In addition, these predicated grades will go through a rigorous checking process at the school before they are submitted to Ofqual, in order to ensure all students are awarded a true and fair grade.
  • Students and parents are not allowed to communicate with teachers regarding the predicted grades. Teachers are not allowed to share the prediction they make under any circumstances.
  • The results will be released in August although we have not had final confirmation for the results date.

We hope this clarifies the process. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the school.

This information was originally provided in the following letter from the Executive Headteacher:
