8. Health warnings Benchmarks are not predicted grades
Benchmarks are not specifically about your child as an individual
Hard work, a positive attitude, great attendance, plus support and encouragement from you are the main factors in deciding the levels/grades pupils will achieve

9. The future
Changes to GCSEs, which will be graded 9 to 1- rolling programme
Developing our systems to take this into account – concept of backward design
Maintain status quo until all GCSE specifications released
