Year 11 Information About Grades

20th January 2020Mrs S Curtis

In the light of the current Covid-19 Crisis and the governments decision to cancel all exams in May and June this is the latest guidance:Ā Ā 


This how the government has said they will do this:

Step 1 – The awarding bodies will be asking teachers to submit their judgement about the grade that they believe the student would have received if exams had gone ahead

Step 2 – To produce the above, teachers will take into account a range of evidence and data including performance in mock exams and non-exam assessment

Step 3 – The exam boards will then combine this information with other relevant data, including prior attainment, and use this information to produce a calculated grade for each student, which will be a best assessment of the work they have put in

Step 4 – Calculated grades will aim to be provided to students before the end of July

Step 5 – If students do not believe the correct process has been followed in their case they will be able to appeal on that basis

Step 6 – If students do not feel their calculated grade reflects their performance, they will have the opportunity to sit an exam at the earliest reasonable opportunity, once schools are open again. Students will also have the option to sit their exams in summer 2021

Implications for the students:

  • They need to stick to their plans and keep working hard – it will be good for their own well being and will ensure this time is productive
  • They need to work especially hard on subjects where theirĀ  predicted grades are low. If they show your teacher they are working hard and hand in higher grade work, it should have a positive impact on the predicted grades teachers give them
  • Working hard in these subjects will also enable them to prepare well for the exams that will be held early when we return in the autumn.Ā  If they donā€™t work hard over this time they will have no chance of doing better in these exams.
