`


Curriculum Reform

Following the removal of National Curriculum Levels, the School developed a single assessment system to be used across Years 7 to 11 based on GCSE grades 9-1.


`


Key Principles

Students:

• know where they are and how to improve;

• receive effective next step advice;

• have meaningful dialogue with their subject teachers;

• own their subject targets;

• become independent learners for life.


`


Curriculum Reform

In terms of demand:

• grades 7-9 are broadly equivalent to the old grades A-A*; 9 = A**

• grades 4-6 are equivalent to grades C-B and

• grades 1-3 are roughly equivalent to the standard required for grades G-D .


`


Report Types

• Effort Grade

• Current/Projected Grade

• Teacher Target

Interim Report Full Report

Explanation of Grades and Levels

Effort (1-5) Current Attainment and Target Levels (Grades 1-9)

Excellent effort 5 Progress through Grades 1-9 is conveyed as follows: e.g.; 3m - mastery of Grade 3 3s - a secure Grade 3 3e - an emerging Grade 3

Good effort 4

Satisfactory effort 3

Level of effort giving some cause for concern 2

Level of effort giving serious cause for concern 1

Student targets in each subject are based on their prior attainment and are used in school as our Minimum Expected Target (MET). Students achieving their MET will make progress, based on their own starting points, in line with the top 20% of students nationally.

`


Curriculum Reform

Children are unique and individual.

They progress at different rates and never in straight lines.

Our approach to tracking progress is, therefore, based on the principle that teachers are best placed to know their students and to advise and enthuse them about how to improve – in incremental next steps.


`


Curriculum Reform

Parents and carers should not be surprised or concerned if different children with similar starting points have different teacher targets.

It should be noted that students starting points also vary in different subjects, and that progress routes vary from subject to subject.


`


Curriculum Reform

For example, the great majority of Year 7 students begin from a lower base in Modern Foreign Languages than they do in Mathematics or English.


`


In terms of languages our prospectus states,’ all students coming into year 7 will learn French as a first foreign language. In addition a second foreign language , either German or Spanish, is allocated to all’.


`


Curriculum Reform

Our targets are designed to incorporate these differences and ensure we aim for excellent progress for all of our students.

Attainment that is shaded green in your child’s report puts them in the top 20% in terms of progress nationally.


`


Curriculum Reform

You will find an explanation of the standards required for grades 1-9 for each subject in the KS3 Curriculum booklet on our school website.


`


Curriculum Reform

The KS3 Curriculum booklet is currently being reviewed and changed to reflect the need for rigour, stretch and challenge for all and will reflect the new Ofsted structure to measure progress for all students:
