Reporting Systems
OUR REPORTING SYSTEMS
We produce two types of reports –
· Modular reports approximately every 7 weeks; and
· Annual reports once a year
Annual reports are issued at different times of the school year for different year groups.
· Year 7 – June – so that we have a full year of learners’ work before we do our first full assessment
· Year 8 – May – to follow up the parents/carers evening held in the Spring Term.
· Year 9 – December – to provide information to help inform Key Stage 4 option choices
· Year 10 – February – to include information from external examinations and also provide early feedback on progress on GCSE and Diploma work; to inform parents/carers on coursework progress and its importance and value.
· Year 11 – January – this includes results from practice examinations held in December and allows staff and learners to take action on any areas for concern while there is still time before the examinations in the summer term.
· Years 12/13 – March – this allows staff to include the results of external examinations taken in January.

What do ET, OT, WT and BT mean in the progression against target column?
ET – exceeding target – this is where your child has already exceeded the set target so the target will be reviewed and inreased, if necessary.
OT – on target – your child has reached the set target
WT – working towards – your child just below the set target (by no more than 2 sub-levels) – this is acceptable.
BT – below target – This is a whole level below target and a cause for concern. You can discuss this with their tutor or subject teacher.
