The Department of Education has published information supporting students, teachers and schools to implement processes to allow students who study subjects outside of school hours and out-of-school learners to access their Leaving Cert accredited grades.
What is an Accredited Grade?
This is a grade that a student can receive in respect of a subject following the combination of a school estimated percentage mark for a student’s expected percentage mark in the Leaving Cert.
It is also based in respect of national data available regarding the student’s performance in exams over a period.
It results from combining data available from state examinations. This can include national data on the previous Leaving Cert/cycle examination performance of a student in each subject.
It also results from a school’s estimate of a percentage mark, to be awarded to a student regarding their expected performance in a particular exam for a certain subject.
