Target Setting, Assessment, Tracking Pupil Progress & Reporting

Additional information provided on a pupil review.
Current Grade
This relates to a pupil’s overall progress to date and will always be based on
assessment evidence. Teachers use a variety of methods to assess pupil’s:
homework / ILT; classwork; a test / assessment and these methods combine
to give the current grade.
Target grade
Target grades are set based on prior attainment and knowledge of the pupil.
Targets are reviewed termly and where a pupil consistently outstrips their
target the target will be increased to further stretch and challenge the pupil.
This will always be done in consultation with pupil and parents / carers.
To ensure target is met
To help understand the 'current grade' against the 'target grade', teachers
will also indicate if a pupil is on track to meet their final target. If a pupil's
current grade is less than the target grade for example, they are not
necessarily underachieving. Teachers will give one of three words that relate
to the following statements;
Maintain - If a pupil maintains the current level of work ethic, they should
meet their target.
Improve - A pupil needs to improve their current level of work ethic in order to
meet their target.
Concern / Change - A pupil is causing their teacher concern as they are not
on track to reach their target, they need to seriously change the way they are
working in order to get back on track.
