It’s usually shown on each report too, along with the grade they are actually obtaining in each subject, which should of course be the same, or better ,so if it start to drop then it can easily be noticed, however in sure in Morgans case it will remain A*as I don’t think it can get better lol

Aha. We’ve had a letter home clarifying what the A* grades in Morgan’s books are:

“Pupils are given a Global Grade. The grade is formed based on pupils’ attainment on average across subjects at primary school. This grade represents a target for pupils for the end of key stage 3 (the end of year 9). Pupils are then set subject specific targets for the GCSE and BTEC course at key stage 4.”

At least we know what the grade is for now.

Al.

Pretty rubbish! I guess her attention is taken up with the misbehaving or less capable students. Lucky you realised her mistake!

Oh dear, not a good start, had Morgan got the same form teacher throughout the whole of his school days? if so it may be a good idea to make a private appointment and discuss your feelings about the whole evening so that it doesn’t just fester in your head, accepting that you know she had many pupils to remember but your concern is the “naughty” ones are recognised instantly where as the “good” are not. If she was really awful you can ask for Morgan to change forms, especially if Morgan feels let down , maybe make that decision after another meeting with her.
I’m surprised the PTA weren’t there in force to direct you etc
