Reports

In each academic year students will receive at least 3 reports and are invited to attend at least one parents evening.

Students in Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 will take part in three assessment series (one per term) across the year. After each assessment series results are published via Go 4 Schools. Parents are invited to check their child’s grades/marks and to also view a report showing their attitude to learning score for each subject.

Years 11 and 13 will receive an overall grade and an attitude learning score for each subject after assessment series 1 and 2.

In addition, each year group will receive a Tutor Report in the Spring/Summer term. This is an opportunity for tutors to provide a written report on how your child is progressing in school with regards to personal development, attitude to learning and outcomes. Included in the report will be your child’s attendance at the date of the report snapshot and praise point totals.
