Tracking and reports<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Each pupil\u2019s progress will be tracked in every subject during their time at Llanidloes High School. Parents will receive one full report and two interim reports over the course of an academic year in addition to a parents\u2019 evening. Also, parents can contact the relevant Year Leader if they have concerns. All reports include a professional predicted level (key stage 3) or grade (key stages 4 and 5) for each subject and effort grades of either A*, A, B, C or N (A* = \u2018excellent\u2019 to N = \u2018needs improvement\u2019). Full reports also have grades for classwork, homework, organisation and behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessment<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Formative assessment<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This takes the form of Assessment for Learning (AFL) through things such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • questioning techniques;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • feedback to pupils both written and orally \u2013 which may be immediately or when work is collected \u2013 in order for pupils to fully understand what they need to do to improve their work and make progress;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • self-assessment and peer assessment which involves pupils assessing their own work against success criteria or a mark scheme and recognising good quality work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Summative Assessment (Assessment of Learning)<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • In Years 7 \u2013 9 pupils are assessed using National Curriculum levels usually through regular tests and annual exams;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • At key stage 4, grades should be awarded according to assessment criteria based on the GCSE grading system A* to G;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Examinations and Assessments \u2013 pupils will sit a formal internal assessment every year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Teachers will usually mark work once every three weeks (less often when for subjects with fewer lessons each week) giving an effort grade, initialling, dating and giving feedback;  this will include positive comments and also constructive feedback on how the pupil can improve their work with targets being made clear using a T in a circle. Pupils are then expected to respond to those comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Work is marked giving a grade for effort as follows: A* \u2013 Outstanding, A \u2013 Excellent , B \u2013 Good, C \u2013 Satisfactory, N \u2013 Needs improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Target grades and levels<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      The school uses CATs test results to help set target levels for key stage 3 pupils and FFT (Fischer Family Trust) data to help set target grades for key stage 4. A combination of previous attainment at GCSE and predictions from large data sets help teachers to decide targets grades for the Sixth Form. All pupils should be aware of their target grades and levels. They may be adjusted when we monitor pupils\u2019 progress especially if a pupil makes better progress than anticipated.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
