Assessment

How we set targets End of year expected grade 8 7 SAT Scores in Year 6 We use a national data base comparing how students with 6 similar SATs achieve at GCSE 5 4 3 2 Achieving a GCSE grade 9 will depend on 1 how students perform nationally in that subject.
Is a target fixed? • Student targets will be constantly reviewed, compared to how similar students achieve nationally. • The EXPECTED grade is a minimum expectation. • Students can be projected by their subject teacher to achieve higher than their EXPECTED grade (or lower). • Students are challenged to achieve beyond their EXPECTED grade.
