Target Setting, Assessment, Tracking Pupil Progress & Reporting

3. Targets will be set, clearly indicating what needs to be done to
improve the standard of work in the future. The targets will
be specific and will relate to the learning outcomes, rather
than focusing solely on effort and presentation.
4. Pupils’ work will be marked on a regular basis and returned to
pupils with levels/grades recorded as appropriate. Where
levels, marks or grades are used, their meaning will be clear
to pupils, and will relate to their success in meeting the
learning outcomes. Level and grade criteria used by a faculty
will be consistently applied by all teachers in the faculty.
Where levels / grades are not used, pupils’ work will be
marked using the following system;
TE Grades
Attainment: T1 Above target level
T2 On target
T3 Below target
Work ethic 2 E1 Outstanding
E2 Good
E3 Just satisfactory
E4 Serious concerns
Faculties are also free to use:
Presentation P1 Excellent presentation
P2 Good presentation
P3 Satisfactory presentation
P4 Unsatisfactory presentation
Short targets will be set, clearly indicating what needs to be
done to improve the standard of work in the future.
Importantly, marking must be manageable, with some pieces
marked in depth and others simply checked and ticked for
satisfactory completion. 3
5. Pupils will have time during lessons to reflect on comments
and targets made in feedback.
6. All subjects will contribute to the development of basic skills
in literacy and numeracy. All teachers will include spelling,
