Seeing the big picture • Avoid getting lost in the detail • A five and we hope seven year experience • A rich and varied curriculum (what we teach about) • Examinations are only an indication of education • Skills and personal qualities are what really count

Are they “Ready to Learn” 36% completely ready (setting a great example) 58% nearly always ready (everyone is human) 6% sometimes ready (missed opportunities) 0.2% rarely ready (serious concerns) *Approximately 10,080 items of data (14 per child)

Leventhorpe Levels Based on the National Curriculum, but also tied to what we teach in lessons Number system: 1-4 levels in year 7, each level has three sub-levels, e.g. 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 (1:3 is higher) Please remember that what your child does in different subjects is not entirely comparable

Primary School Scores • Reading • Maths • GPS (grammar, punctuation and spelling)

End of Year Target Level 1:2 and 1:3 Level 2:1 to 2:3 Level 3:1 to 3:3 Level 4:1 and 4:2 20% of year group 30% of year group 30% of year group 20% of year group 1:2 1:3 2:1 2:2 2:3 3:1 3:2 3:3 4:1 4:2 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10%

Leventhorpe Levels

Leventhorpe Levels We expect that most children will progress by about a level each year In the report you have had, your child is probably about -1.00 or -0.67 away from their target Purple is exceptional, green is strong, yellow if fine, only red is somewhat disappointing

Leventhorpe Levels

Leventhorpe Levels In a class test there may be very little difference between 2:1 and 3:3 More than half are bunched tightly in the middle Level 2:1 to Level 3:1 Level 4:1 and 4:2 Level 1:2 and 1:3 2:3 to 3:3 20% of year group 30% of year 30% of 20% of year group group year group

Things that can effect levels Your child will love you to take a positive interest Levels don’t always go up Often one term’s work is harder than another Some children will overtake others It is easy for students to slip up in tests What really matters is long term effort
