Books sent off?
Hi
Can anyone tell me what exactly it means if your child's books are requested and sent off following the test? I presume it constitutes a borderline result, does anyone know the chances?
Thanks very much

It means that the child hasn't reached the pass mark, but the school thinks they probably should have done, or would have done on another day. The head of one of our grammar school told me that about 6% go throgh like this - the initial pass group is about 19% in order to allow these appeals. However, in our school, all the year 6 books have vanished from the class room, so we don't know which ones are actually being sent off. You may still be safe!
