LHS Year 7 & 8 Information Booklet 2017-18

Reporting to parents/carers
The Department for Education removed levels to enable schools to implement their own models of
assessment. At Litherland High, students are placed into bands according to their KS2 results. The bands
are Engage, Inspire, Succeed and Aspire. Progress within each band is assessed using Bronze, Silver and
Gold with all students’ targets set as Gold. Assessment information will link directly to the skills and
content required within each subject area and will enable teachers to identify the next steps required to
enable your son or daughter to continue to progress. Parents will receive three monitoring reports
during the year as shown below:
