7. 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.
