Sixth Form
The Progress Review provides a record of student progress in each subject using the grading scheme for GCE A Level/L3 equivalent qualifications.

 On the Progress Review each subject has reported:

• A ‘KS5 Target’ – this is derived from calculating each student’s average GCSE grades. Then looking at what, on average, a student with the same average GCSE score achieved in their final exams.
• A ‘Working at Grade’ – this is a GCE A level/L3 equivalent grade based on any recent subject assessments that have taken place in Year 12 or 13. The raw results from these are recorded on www.go4schools.com. We would expect most students’ ‘Working at Grades’ to increase as they complete their GCE A level courses.
• A ‘Forecast Grade’ – this is the GCE A level/L3 equivalent grade that your child’s subject teacher expects them to achieve at the end of Year 13 based on their current progress. This prediction is based on a combination of their ‘Attitude’ and ‘Working at Grade’. Please take the opportunity to praise your child if their ‘Forecast Grade’ is equivalent to or higher than their KS5 Target at this stage.
• An ‘Attitudes in and out of class’ score – this is a reflection of a student’s attitude in class, and a comment about what additional learning is happening away from the class during study periods or at home.

This Progress Review report does not contain the results of mock exams and other assessments that your child may have undertaken recently. To see these for each subject please login to www.go4schools.com and follow the instructions on the help sheet HERE.

Years 12 & 13 Progress Review Reflection

After each Progress Review your child will discuss their current progress with their form tutor and identify targets to improve in subjects that they are finding challenging.

Your child’s form tutor will schedule a 10 to 15 minute 1:1 private meeting with your child at form time. Their form tutor will discuss the results of the latest Progress Report and set appropriate S.M.A.R.T. targets. These will be reviewed at the next Progress Report meeting.

Included in this meeting your child’s form tutor will also discuss your child’s future destination after leaving Sixth Form. If needed the Form Tutor will contact classroom teachers, the Careers Adviser or the Sixth Form Team to arrange further support out of lessons.

Year 12 only

The first Progress Report for Year 12 students will report on Attitudes to Learning and comment on your child’s transition into Year 12 and not grades.
