• Improving by one attitude grade leads to an improvement of ½ a GCSE grade
• The impact of lowering attitude by 1 has a variable impact from losing ½ to
losing 1½ grades
• Improving attitude by between 0.4 and 0.5 is the equivalent of improving by
1 in ½ their subjects
• This has an average impact of a 0.3 of a grade (or improving by a grade in 3
subjects) with some students gaining a more than a grade in every subject
• Parents should become concerned if there are any attitude grades below a 7
• If there are more than 3 below 7 there will be a significant impact on the
