What we believe...

"We believe that education is for life. It helps us to make sense of the world,

• ur place within it and how we can

contribute to it. But it’s also about making a difference."

What we believe...

We don’t have one size fits all approach or pre-determined

• path. No matter what a young

person wants to do we will prepare them to seize the world

• f opportunity that awaits."

Schedule of school reporting for Key Stage 4

Year 10 Data Report (December) Parents Evening (March) Data Report (April) Data and Tutor Report (June)

Year 11 Data and Mock Results Report (November) Parents Evening (December) Data Report (March)

Assessment and Reporting

Data Reports will provide information on:

• School Target
• Estimated grade
• Attainment (in line with prior attainment)
• Attitude for Learning

Students will be given a score of 1-4 1 Exceeding expectations 2 Meeting expectations and standard 3 Below expectations and standard 4 Significantly below expectations and standard

Benchmarking progress

We use Fischer Family Trust (FFT) data to benchmark how students are progressing in line with their prior attainment. We are able to use FFT estimates based on:

• the national average
• top 20% of schools
• top 5% of schools

The school target is based on student aptitude, along with the expectation of the subject. The attainment score (1-4) plots the student's estimated grade alongside the national average based on their prior attainment.

Under erstandin ing the e report

What is the School Target? What is attainment benchmarked against?
