Supporting Students – Tracking Progress (BRAGS) How do we track and report each student’s progress on their courses? GREEN On target to achieve expected grade AMBER Experiencing minor issues in subject RED Experiencing major issues in subject Achievement worthy of special credit is rewarded with a BLUE indicator
Supporting Students – Tracking Progress (BRAGS) These BRAGS indicators are given separately for each course by the teacher. They are visible to students , parents and of course the Personal Tutor. Progress Grade Reports BRAGS are updated continuously (e.g. after assessments). In addition, regular progress grades are reported for each subject. This allows discussion of both the grade being worked at right now and the potential grade that is in sight. We do this at three points in the year, for example: December 2020 March 2021 June 2021
Transport Please see transport information here. The transport guide will soon be updated for 2020-2021 travel, in the meantime, please use this as a guide.
