6.2 Autumn Grades
This Progress Review takes place in the autumn term of 6.2.
Autumn Grades information for parents/carers
Autumn Grades form part of our Progress Review system. The assessments and data produced provide an opportunity for students and teachers to evaluate progress, identify support and set targets.
The Autumn Grades report will be available on the parent/carer portal from Wednesday 26 November and will show:
- Current Grades
- Approach to learning grade
- Minimum Grades
- UCAS Grades
Current Grades
- A Current Grade is the grade a student is currently working at on their A level, GCSE or Vocational subject.
- The Current Grade judgement is based on the most relevant and recent assessment(s) completed on the course so far together with the professional opinion of the subject teacher(s).
Minimum Grades
- A Minimum Grade shows what students with similar GCSE results to your student has achieved as their final grades, on average, in previous years.
- It is important to note that this is just an average and in many cases with hard work students can achieve grades higher than their Minimum Grades.
- Students will always be encouraged to exceed the minimum grade.
Approach to learning grade
- This grade is decided on by the teacher.
- The possible grades that can be entered are as follows:
- Excellent
- Good
- Inconsistent
- Poor
Where there is a subject concern, the teacher will tick ‘priority’ on the report. It is essential that an appointment is booked with their teachers for the Progress Review evenings which will be on the 4 and 9 December, and 5 February. All appointments will take place on Microsoft Teams.
