Little did we know that the school had got it all wrong, their software was faulty (or rather the data in it was faulty) and so when she finally got her true results we where a bit disappointed as she got 1A*, 2A's, %B's and 1.5C's.
The predicted minimum grades should have been her maximum expected grades as we where hoping she would do better than her predicted grades & all her course work pointed to it being the case, so you could see why we would be upset and feel a bit let down, as did our daughter.
Then today I got a letter from her old high school, my first thought was 'what has my son done now', I know it's not a good thing to think and I'm sorry I did think that, only 95% of all letters home have been about him missing homework or some other thing, typical boys really.
Anyway this letter was actually to let us know that daughters achievements had placed her in the top 30 of her year group.
Now there were 148 in her year group, and she came 23rd, now I hadn't realised that she had done so well and if it wasn't for these predicted grades we would have not built our hopes up of a minimum of 6 A's, and questioned the C's she achieved.
Now out of the 148 pupils, 60 achieved 9 grades A*-C and daughter was in the top 40% of that group.
So now I feel bad for questioning her grades, the school has so much to answer for as only 14 people in the whole school got 6A*-A grades or more and I know daughter wasn't the only one they got the predictions wrong on.
Time I think to let daughter know we are proud of her and she did do really well.
I don't know if I want son's predicted minimum grades.
Time to spoil daughter and give her a big hug, I am a proud mum, a very proud mum :)
