I am a touch rusty....

As a colleague of mine quite aptly put it: Lets say you have 10 pupils who the data says could/should get an A grade. You know, based upon experience, that a few of these will not hit that mark for various reasons (topics that come up, how they are feeling on the day, misinterpreting a question etc ...

This will be because he is in a poor performing school with few top grades. I hope Cambridge are sensible w...

I'm a HoD and have been analysing data the last day or so. We were careful to rank pupils (as instructed) and we benchmarked common data such as mocks and internal assessments that get repeated, so we could compare the current year group with previous year groups, and so come up with how many pupils...
