All pupils receive a progress report at the end of each term. These clearly indicate the progress made towards target KS3 levels and GCSE grades. The level of pupil effort throughout the term is also recorded. We ask that parents discuss the Progress Reports with their children and address any queries or concerns directly to subject teachers. Form Tutors and Heads of House rigorously monitor progress and effort to celebrate achievement and quickly identify any pupils at risk of underachieving. Pupils in Year 11 are presented with a Record of Achievement towards the end of their studies to celebrate individual successes during their school life.
All pupils and parents are invited to attend an Academic Review Day interview with Form Tutors. This gives pupils the opportunity to reflect on their performance during the year and set clear targets for improvement. School is closed for normal lessons on this day. In addition pupils and parents in years 10 and 11 are invited to attend a Parents’ Evening with individual subject teachers.
Parents of pupils in year 7 are given the opportunity to discuss with Form Tutors how well their child has settled during the first half term.
