I don't really know what you mean by "school context".
In English, the first letter in all nouns, verbs, adjetives, adverbs, etc., is capitalized in the title.

Great Job! Just a few corrections! I don't speak British English so I can't answer the last question.

Thank you very much for your help🙂
In our country before you get your end of year mark you get a predicted/ suggested mark.
So if "predicated" doesn't sound good, can "suggested mark " work out?

"predicated" is a completely different word, be careful about that :)
"Grade" and "mark" are both totally fine in British English, but I think "mark" is probably a lot more common, "grade" feels a little American. There's maybe a small distinction - your "mark" can be either a number score like 66/100 or a letter like A, B, C. But "grade", to me, sounds only like a letter, I'd maybe feel weird saying "I got a grade of 66/100".
"Predicted mark" is what you'd say, "suggested mark" would mean something different. "She got a 1 as her predicted end of year mark" is correct - the correction "She got a 1 for her end of year mark, as predicted" is also correct but completely changes the meaning! From talking about the predicted mark to talking about her final mark as compared to the prediction.
Do you know the classic line from Police Squad? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFhpctuUwb4
"Who are you and how did you get in here?" "I'm a locksmith, and I'm a locksmith" :)
