From September 2025 the following changes have been made to our data and reporting systems:

• In the first half-term parent/carers will receive a check in phone call from their pupils' tutor which will focus on attendance, behaviour and engagement in learning

• Parents/carers will now recieve curriculum reports in the second half of the Autumn and Summer terms. These will include feedback from class teachers and include Active Learner and Attainment Grades. 

Parents/carers are encouraged to make contact with their pupil's tutor at any point to discuss concerns or receieve updates

1 – Active Learner
Your pupil consistently puts in effort and uses the support and strategies provided. They respond well to feedback, participate regularly, and are becoming increasingly independent. They follow classroom expectations, manage their emotions well, communicate their needs calmly, and work positively with others to complete tasks.

2 – Developing Learner
Your pupil’s engagement can vary. They use support with guidance and are beginning to respond to feedback and take part more in class activities. They usually follow expectations but may need occasional reminders. They sometimes find managing emotions challenging but are trying to use strategies to stay calm. They require some support to work effectively with others and remain focused.

3 – Emerging Learner
Your pupil frequently needs prompting and support to stay engaged and on task. They struggle with following expectations and routines and often find it difficult to manage their emotions. They may sometimes disrupt learning but show some effort to improve when supported.

4 – Passive Learner

Your pupil struggles to engage in learning and is highly dependent on adult support. They often find it difficult to follow expectations and routines. Strong emotions may impact their behaviour and learning. They require frequent support and intervention and may find it hard to engage positively or participate in class. 

A/A+ Your pupil demonstrates excellent knowledge and understanding of key concepts. They are developing a wide range of skills and can use them independently and effectively in a variety of tasks.
They can confidently apply their learning to new situations, explain their ideas clearly, and make thoughtful connections across different topics. Their work is detailed, accurate, and shows strong thinking skills.

In KS4 Learning at this level could lead to GCSE grade at grade 5+ 

B/B+  Your pupil shows good knowledge and understanding of the subject. Their skills are developing well, and they are becoming more confident and independent in using them.
They can explain their ideas clearly and apply what they’ve learned in familiar situations, with only a few minor mistakes or gaps. Their work is generally accurate and well-structured.

In KS4 Learning at this level could lead to GCSE grade at grade 4 and/or a BTEC/Functional Skills qualification at Level 2

C/C+ Your pupil shows a basic understanding of the subject. They are starting to build important skills but still need support and regular practice to develop them further.
They can remember key facts and apply them in simple situations. Sometimes their explanations are unclear or missing details, and there may be a few misunderstandings.

In KS4 Learning at this level could lead to GCSE grade at grade 1-3 and/or a BTEC/Functional Skills qualification at Level 1

D/D+  Your pupil is developing a limited understanding of the subject. They are in the early stages of skill development and will benefit from additional support to help them progress 

They often find it difficult to recall key facts or apply them correctly. Their explanations may be unclear or incomplete, with frequent errors.
