Progress Reviews and Profiles

We aim to provide you with useful information about your daughter’s progress during her school career, both through written feedback and online.

At the start of a key stage (Year 7 and Year 10) students will be given a target level/grade.  This is the minimum level/grade we expect your daughter to achieve by the end of the key stage (Year 9 and Year 11).  The target level or grade is based on prior attainment and national progress information.  These targets will be increased for students who make excellent progress.

You will be told what your daughter’s target levels/grades are.

During any year you will receive a progress review sheet stating your daughter’s current attainment in each subject.  This will show National Curriculum levels 3 to 7 in Years 7,8 and 9 with sub level a, b and c to better show progress.

• a:  means secure at that level with aspects of the next level
• b:  means secure at that level
• c:  means working at that level but with some areas of work at the previous level

In Years 10 and 11 the progress review will show attainment by current GCSE grade which may be based on coursework assignments, classwork, modular exam results or internal exam results.

We will also put her target levels/grades on this sheet so you can see how well she is progressing.

Each year you will also receive a profile which will give you information about your daughter’s attainment in each subject as well as comments by her teachers and tutor as to how she is working and how she can improve her learning.

You will be invited to a Parents Evening each year to discuss your daughter’s progress with her subject teachers and a Partners in Learning Day where you can discuss her school performance with her tutor.

From September 2011, progress reports for our students will be available online using the school’s “Managed Learning Environment”.  Further information about this new system will be published following a successful trial.
