Teachers will regularly assess student work and keep up to date records of progress and attainment. A student’s acquisition of knowledge and skills will be based upon published assessment tasks which reflect the skills and concepts developed throughout the year. Formal assessments at Key Stage 3 will be marked with a Working At Grade (WAT grade).
At Key Stage 4 (GCSE) & Key Stage 5 (A Levels) acquisition of skills and knowledge will be marked with a GCSE grade (9-1) or A Level grade (A*-U). Students are expected to act upon the feedback and next steps given in each subject. Students will find details on how to improve in their exercise books and through FAR: feedback from the teacher, an action for the student to complete, and a response to the action from the student.
Attitude to Learning:
The report will include Attitude to Learning grades to show how students are engaging with their learning in classwork and at home.
Attendance and Punctuality:
This is the percentage attendance to date and the number of ‘lates’ recorded for morning registration.
How else do I find out how my child is doing?
Each year group will have one formal Parents’ Evening each year, apart from Year 11 who will have two. This provides parents and students an opportunity to discuss learning progress and areas for improvement with subject staff, as well as GCSE Option preferences in Year 9.
