The Attainment grade in each subject (A, B, C or D) will show the standard of work reached relative to that which we would expect of Dulwich boys. This will usually be based on a test that is taken during the term, alongside the classwork and prep completed since the last grade was awarded. In broad terms, an A grade means that a boy is attaining a level above that expected at this stage, a B 5 grade shows attainment at the level expected, a C grade just below what we expect and D grade significantly below what we would expect.
