Dear parent/carer,
Please take note how important it is for the students to demonstrate
their true potential in the mock exams. As well as relying heavily on
the results for predicted grades, which will be sent to sixth form
centres and used to decide whether offers will be made, we also
need to rely on them in school to help us inform our GCSE entries. It
is essential that the students are entered into the correct tier in
their GCSE. Unless they are a solid C (i.e. half way to a B) they will
normally be entered for Foundation tier in their GCSE exam next
summer. Students wanting to achieve grade B, or Higher, would
need to be entered for Higher tier exams but there is only any point
in us doing this if we are confident they will succeed in them.
