          Mine too ... He initially set his expectations as 80% ( which I was very pleased ) , but gradually reduced it to 70%, then 60%.... yesterday told me to be mentally prepared as he may fail ! Today shall know the result.. :xedfingers:

                Seems yes, for all subjects. I think we should look into the average score of whole class/whole school, normally school will tell us about this.

                  During the GEP briefing at the school earlier this year, it was stated that 70% is the baseline for promotion criteria to next GEP year. Of course, they will still look at the aptitude & attitude of the pupil as well. "All pupils are monitored for coping and performance."

                    oh, is it ? I think I missed that part. So 70% to get promoted, that's tough....hopefully DS2 can get at least a passing mark ...

                      Don't worry. I don't think they are aiming to fail the kids & stop them from being promoted. Surely they will work with the kid (& parents) to help him/her in the areas required to improve for future tests in order to pull up their averages. :xedfingers:
