Governing Body Annual Report To Parents 2015-16

Assessment, Exams & Reports
Staff maintain systematic and objective records in order to closely monitor and continually appraise the
progress of the pupils in their classes. This, coupled with relevant assessment and examination results, enables
all parents to receive, at the end of each year, a comprehensive written report detailing the progress made by
their child.
The Year 9 report is produced in the Spring Term before pupils make their final option choices for KS4 in order
to assist in this process. The Year
11 report is produced in January after the pupils have taken their
mock GCSE exams in order to
reflect the progress they have made at that crucial time. In addition
parents receive a more condensed Interim Report each term, which allows them to keep track of
their child’s attitude to learning,
behaviour and progress.
We have made further changes to our tracking system. As part of this system, pupils are given an end of key
stage target which is aspirational and achievable. Progress is measured against this target. Pupils and parents are
informed of these targets on reports. Pupils’ literacy skills are tracked across the curriculum and parents receive
information about pupils’ progress in Literacy and Nu-meracy within subject reports.
