However, it is not always an exact science; there can be challenges around providing and receiving predicted grades, for all involved. This guide aims to help teachers and school leaders to navigate the key principles for best practice in issuing predicted grades for formal qualifications.  \nWhat are predicted grades?  \nPredicted grades are subject-specific indicators of what grades a student is most likely to achieve in their upcoming formal qualifications. These grades are expected to be as helpful as possible in determining the most likely outcomes of a student’s learning.  \nWhy do we need predicted grades?  \nPredicted grades are most often used in the application process to further education. Colleges and universities can make informed decisions about their admissions based on the predicted grades of applicants. Predicted grades can also help to determine which subject courses a student can take in further education. Additionally, the predicted grades issued by schools are a clear indicator of a student’s progress and attainment.  \nWho is involved in deciding predicted grades?  \nIn the first instance, teachers are responsible for determining predicted grades before they are confirmed and issued to students and parents. Teachers and heads of subject areas then submit their predicted grade decisions to the school leadership team and the administration staff responsible for data management.  \nThe school leadership team are responsible for facilitating a process of standardisation, making sure that predicted grades across all subjects are in line with relevant school data. With the help of the school administration staff, school leaders are required to check that predicted grades are not exceptionally high or low. Predicted grades should  \nbe justifiably comparable with the school results from previous years, as well as being in line with student target grades issued at the beginning of a course of study for the current cohort.  \nWhen should schools issue predicted grades?  \nForward planning is key. Predicted grades can only beas reliable as the procedures that lead up to them.  \nColleges and universities will set their own formal deadlines for when they need to receive predicted grades. Schools need to plan backwards from these dates. Before predicted grades are issued to students and parents, time should be allowed for:  \n• Summative assessments to take place over the course of study. This might be across one, two or three years.  \n• Teachers to decide predicted grades according to the evidence and data they have collected over this time. This might take place across three to four weeks.  \n• Leaders and administrators to check and standardise predicted grades. This might take three to four weeks.  \nOnce the above processes have been completed, students and parents will need to know the predicted grades in order to begin college and university application processes. Students’ predicted grades will determine the courses and institutions they can apply for, depending on the admissions criteria.  \n• A further period of three to four weeks should be allowed here to address any potential issues with the predicted grades received by students and parents.  \nHow are predicted grades decided?  \nSeveral processes play a key role in deciding predicted grades:  \nThe long-term collection of summative assessment data  \nThe reliability of predicted grades depends on the assessment data collected throughout the course of study. Therefore, all subject areas should implement opportunities for summative assessments to take place in order to collect enough data to inform  \n[www.cambridgeinternational.org/examsofficersguide](www.cambridgeinternational.org/examsofficersguide)  \nPredicted grades: A guide for schools continued  \nModeration of summative ass","cbCaioEjmvxuD4yZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioEjmvxuD4yZ","pdf",640398,"English","# What are predicted grades?\n# Why do we need predicted grades?\n# Who is involved in deciding predicted grades?\n# When should schools issue predicted grades?\n# How are predicted grades decided?","[{\"question\":\"What are predicted grades and what purpose do they serve?\",\"answer\":\"Predicted grades are subject-specific indicators of the grades a student is most likely to achieve in upcoming formal qualifications.
