Are there any historical stats around to show that over the years students generally met their teachers predictive grades

it is certainly my experience that most do end up with the grades that where predicted,, but I can't find any statistics, so it's just my view based on experience.

At the trust where I work, we have a trust wide system which records the predicted grades of every kid, every term. Historical data is stored for as long as GDPR allows. It can be searched using multiple filters, to the point that you can see extremely specific data sets of predicted and historical grades.

I agree, nothing to do with them having an agenda, just abject incompetence.

Even the Tory press are appalled at the mis handling of this one.



The fact that it was kids from state schools that have come out of this worse, just gives the press and angle from which to write their articles.



As for no one seeing this coming, it beggars belief, it rally does

Cut out the petty name calling - it's not required.



You seem not to have any opinion on the actual subject but, seem to have a problem with ANYONE who doesnt share your politics.

Defending the indefensible isnt that great - it just makes you look desperate / daft

It's like sitting down with a beer on Christmas Eve, having bought no presents, then explaining to the wife and kids that you didn't see Christmas coming.

Or standing in the middle of the M! and wondering why you got run over.

Perhaps all of the education experts were concentrating on getting the kids back to school in a couple of weeks time or, perhaps those running the show, were comfortable that their own kids wouldn't be affected.



I wonder if there are any stats showing how kids in the state system were down graded compared to kids in private education.

Not sure on that one,after 25 years i still don't see the wedding anniversary coming!!

Typical of a lefty to "forget" to buy a gift. You envy and hate your wife/husband.

It's a good job Corbyn didn't get in. He'd have banned all gift buying, and cancelled Christmas in favour of a national celebration of Venezuela.

That cringebin would probably have taken Dianne Abbott to Cuba and left his wife at home. He's a subhuman.
