School awarded up to three times as many H1s as its pupils achieve in a standard Leaving Cert

A fee-paying school, which is at the centre of a High Court case over last year’s Leaving Cert calculated grades, awarded up to three times as many H1s as its pupils usually achieve in the exam. Mr Justice Charles Meenan said estimated marks provided to students at Belvedere College, Dublin were “well ahead” of what was achieved in the previous three years. Overestimation by teachers in schools was anticipated “but probably not on this scale”, he said. Documentation provided to the court gave a number of examples from Belvedere, including Latin, where it awarded 38pc of students a H1, compared with an average 11pc who achieved that between 2017 and ’19. In maths, it awarded 19pc of students a H1 (7pc, 2017-’19) and in Irish, 21pc (9pc, 2017-’19)

Decision due on legal challenge to Leaving Cert calculated grades process

Share this article A decision on a legal challenge taken against the process used to calculate Leaving Cert results last year is due to be delivered today. The action, taken by a student from Celbridge, County Kildare, is a test case, with up to sixty other cases waiting on today’s outcome. Freddie Sherry missed out on pharmacy at Trinity College after the 542 points estimated by his teachers at Belvedere College was reduced to 487 under grade standardisation. A school’s previous performance in the State exam was initially going to considered in the calculation of grades. But concerns were raised about the potential to give students in good schools an unfair advantage, while doing the opposite to those in disadvantaged schools.

How dismissal of calculated grades challenge takes heat off Foley amid Leaving Cert planning

Mr Sherry was one of a number of students who initiated High Court actions claiming that a decision to exclude an individual school’s historic performance in the Leaving Cert from the calculated grades process worked to his disadvantage. Many students say it cost them their desired college place. Ms Foley had taken the decision in late August to exclude an individual school’s historic performance following controversy in the UK over what was described as “school profiling” and a “postcode lottery” in their calculated grades system. It was seen to be unfair to pupils from schools in disadvantaged communities, which tend to have poorer academic track records, and Labour education spokesperson Áodhán Ó Ríordáin had railed against it all summer.
