Tracking Reports, Codes and Grades

 

Key Stage 4 Report Guidance

Attendance – the percentage attendance for the year to the date given.

KS4 Target Grade Range – Reports in Year 10 and 11 will show a target grade range. Targets are generated from a combination of national assessment information and professional judgement. In subsequent reports, a current predicted grade will be provided, alongside a fine grade indicating how secure that grade is.

The next columns of the report give an indication of how the student is performing in each subject in terms of Attitude to Learning, Quality of Work and Independent Study. The table below should be used to interpret the meaning of the scores 1 to 5 in each area.

Motivation and OrganisationBehaviour and LearningQuality of Classwork/Personal Study
1 Shows enthusiasm and a high degree of interest in the subject. Always well organised and arrives at lesson ready to learn. Always exhibits model behaviour. Works well with peers and makes positive contributions. Consistently demonstrates an aptitude to work well independently. Work is always at or above the standard expected from the student.
2 Mostly well motivated. Mostly well organised and arrives at lessons ready to learn. Mostly maintains a good standard of behaviour. Contributes constructively when working with peers. Mostly able to work independently. Work is mostly at the standard expected from the student.
3 Generally well-motivated, needs encouragement on occasions. Generally, well organised and arrives at lessons ready to learn. Generally, maintains a good standard of behaviour. Sometimes makes relevant and valuable contributions when working with peers. Generally able to work independently, although may sometimes require support. Work is generally at the expected standard, occasionally slipping below.
4 Limited motivation. Needs to be prompted. Sometimes well organised and sometimes arrives at lesson ready to learn. Often falls below expected standard of behaviour. Needs encouragement to stay on task when working with peers. Often requires support to work independently. Work is completed but to a standard which does not reflect student ability.
5 Rarely motivated. Disengaged from learning. Rarely well organised and rarely arrives at lesson ready to learn. Rarely meets the expected standard of behaviour. Rarely works effectively with peers and can be disruptive of group work. Rarely works well independently and requires a lot of support. Serious concerns in relation to the quality of work.

Key Stage 5

Target Grade Range – the target grade for the end of the A level, BTEC or CTEC course they are studying.

Predicted Grades – reports in Year 12 and 13 will show a current predicted tracking grade (apart from the Autumn 1 report which only provides targets).

At Key Stage 5, the targets and the progress of students is shown using A level or BTEC grades. The A level qualifications are graded A* – E, the BTEC and CTEC qualifications are graded Pass – Distinction.

The next columns of the report give an indication of how the student is performing in each subject in terms of Attitude to Learning, Quality of Work and Independent Study. The table below should be used to interpret the meaning of the scores 1 to 5 in each area.

A brief explanation of the concern column is given in the final table. This applies to all key stages.
