• Dear parent/carer,
• Please take note how important it is for the
  students to demonstrate their true potential in
  the mock exams. As well as relying heavily on the
  results for predicted grades, which will be sent
  to sixth form centres and used to decide whether
  offers will be made, we also need to rely on them
  in school to help us inform our GCSE entries. It
  is  essential that the students are entered into
  the correct tier in their GCSE. Unless they are a
  solid C (i.e. half way to a B) they will normally
  be entered for Foundation tier in their GCSE exam
  next summer. Students wanting to achieve grade B,
  or Higher, would need to be entered for Higher
  tier exams but there is only any point in us
  doing this if we are confident they will succeed
  in them.
