Re: Scores
Standardised scores are explained here:

But generally the age of the child is taken into consideration when they sit the tests..For example a september child may need 77% for a 115 standardised score in comparison to 72% needed for an August child.

Re: Scores
Relax - he qualified. Many did not and a score of 121 or more is irrelevant. It would be much better if Bucks only said "qualified" for scores of 121 or over. Your DS will only have been compared to other September born children.

Re: Scores
In my experience the score tells you nothing about how well they will do at GS - I agree with scary mum that it would be better if Bucks just said 'qualified for a GS'.

Re: Scores
And preferably in an envelope that is sufficiently thick that children can't hold it up to the light and see their results through it the moment they are handed it.
Re: Scores
Ours were given out a few feet from where the mums were standing so no chance of that!!

Re: Scores
I guess that's another economy Bucks CC have made .. cheap envelopes!
They could e-mail them out at 4pm - this would ensure they were received when children had left the school premises and save the cost of the 'envelope' (or tissue paper as it has been renamed).

Re: Scores
Agreed - in these cash-strapped times, they could save the cost of postage almost entirely by e-mailing or texting the results for those who request it! I know of one OOC parent who assumed this was what happened anyway and spent all of yesterday morning checking her e-mails. Using snail-mail these days seems so antiquated.Guest55 wrote:I guess that's another economy Bucks CC have made .. cheap envelopes!

Re: Scores
crunchie where will your DD go? We were in your position 3 years ago but things have worked out better than we could have hoped. More details if you want them
Re: Scores
Oh, crunchie, how horrid for you and DD. As I said above, ours didn't really get the opportunity and we all grabbed them (DCs and envelopes) and made a speedy exit. Although i have to say, even if DS had seen through the envelope, I'm not sure he would have been able to interpret it all.
