Predicted grades:
accuracy and impact.
Dr Gill Wyness, UCL Institute of Education December 2016.
"I find evidence that the system of predicted grades is inaccurate. Only 16% of
applicants achieved the A-level grade points that they were predicted to achieve,
based on their best
three A-levels. However, the vast majority (75% of applicants)
were over-predicted – ie their grades were predicted to be higher than they actually
achieved. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds and state schools are more
likely to be over-predicted, whilst those at
independent schools receive more accurate
predictions. However, accuracy varies dramatically according to the A-level attainment
of the student with lower attaining applicants far more likely to have their grades
over-predicted. Therefore, after controlling for prior attainment

Subject executive powers & prerogatives, by whomsoever exercised, to the rule of law.
Establish freedom of information & open government.
Create a fair electoral system of proportional representation.
Reform the upper house to establish a democratic, non-hereditary 2nd chamber
@BarclaysUKHelp I've lost my card, go on line,bit tells me to log onto my account.
I can't I've lost my card so can't use the PIN century.
Look up phone number, voice recognition miss hears me 3 times.
Have to hang up and start again each time. 4th time hears me puts me on hold with some bloody awful music on a 30 second loop, 30 mins later still not answered I have to go to work.
Luckily it's nothing important like a lost card I need to cancel.
Call up, automated voice gives options, to report a lost or stolen card press 1, a little later please state why you are calling 'a lost card' asked for a third time.
Why press the bloody 1 then!

A few things to remember, this is a PERFECT time to make memories with your children and learn things beyond "normal" math and reading.
This is a great time to really help your child dig in and spend hours doing or learning something that they love or are passionate about.
Don't forget that there are TONS of documentaries on the streaming services that they might enjoy and learn a lot from.
Here are links that I have gathered to TONS of free fun learning options for all ages. Some are always free and some are only free during this current situation
