A Guide to Key Stage 4 Reports

This page provides an overview of our reporting process across Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11).

Year 10 Reports are sent out on the following schedule:

Year 11 Reports are sent out on the following schedule:

Additionally, there will be an opportunity for parents of each year group to discuss reports with all teachers at the following events:

Year 10 Parent Consultation Meetings take place in February (bookings open after Report 2 is sent home)
Year 11 Parent Consultation Meetings take place in January (bookings open after Report 2 is sent home)

Targets have been set for all Key Stage 4 students based on what level we would expect the student to achieve at the end of Year 11.
Targets are based on end of Year 11 estimates generated by FFT, and are calculated using each student’s individual Key Stage 2 SATs scores (or CATs scores for year groups that did not sit SATs).
Targets should be aspirational.

Predictions indicate the level a student is likely to achieve by the end of Year 9 based on the work they have produced so far.
A range of data and professional judgment contributes to each prediction.
In BTEC, CNAT, and other vocational qualifications, the range of grades include L2D*, L2D, L2M, L2P, L1D, L1M, L1P, Fail; where L2 and L1 indicate Level 2 and Level 1, and D, M and P stand for Distinction, Merit and Pass.
Starting in Year 11, Predictions are fine-graded to indicate how likely the student is to achieve their predicted grade as follows:

+	The student is likely to achieve this grade and has a good chance of achieving a higher grade.
=	The student is likely to achieve this grade.
–	The student has a good chance of achieving this grade, but is at risk of dropping to a lower grade.

Progress Indicators illustrate whether the student is on track to meet their target based on their predicted grade.
The possible Progress Indicators are:
- Exceptional, for students that are predicted to exceed their target.
- Meeting Expectations, for students that are predicted to meet their target.
- Working Towards Expectations, for students whose predicted grade is within one grade of their target.
- Additional Support Needed, for students whose predicted grade is two or more grades below their target.
Progress Indicators are colour coded for your convenience.

Attitude & Behaviour judgments indicate a student’s approach to classroom work. The possible Attitude & Behaviour grades are:

Mock Grades represent the student’s performance under exam conditions.
Mock grades do not take into account any additional coursework or non-examined assessments that might contribute to a student’s final grade in the summer exams.

Attitude & Behaviour judgments indicate a student’s approach to classroom work. The possible Attitude & Behaviour grades are:

Exceptional	Takes pride in their work and responds to feedback. Occasionally challenges themselves and shows curiosity in lessons. Maintains behaviour that supports their own learning; listens attentively, respects others, and arrives on time with the correct equipment. Uniform is generally well-presented.
Meeting Expectations	Takes pride in their work and responds to feedback. Occasionally challenges themselves and shows curiosity in lessons. Maintains behaviour that supports their own learning; listens attentively, respects others, and arrives on time with the correct equipment. Uniform is generally well-presented.
Working Towards Expectations	Needs occasional reminders to stay focused. Typically completes work and responds to feedback, but does not consistently push themselves to take on additional challenges. Behaviour may sometimes hinder learning or disrupt others. Equipment is sometimes missing, and uniform may need adjustments. Punctuality can be an issue. There are instances of receiving behaviour consequences.
Additional Support Needed	Rarely engages in lessons or takes pride in their work. Does not consistently respond to feedback or complete assigned tasks. Behaviour is frequently disruptive, affecting both personal learning and that of others. Often arrives late, lacks the necessary equipment, and the uniform is not worn correctly. Regularly receives behaviour consequences.

Homework judgments indicate a student’s engagement with homework and independent study. The possible Homework grades are:

Exceptional	Consistently completes all homework on time and to an excellent standard. Frequently goes above expectations by undertaking additional tasks such as extra reading or research.
Meeting Expectations	Completes all homework on time and meets the expected standard.
Working Towards Expectations	Occasionally fails to complete homework on time and/or does not consistently meet the expected standard.
Additional Support Needed	Frequently fails to complete homework on time and/or does not meet the expected standard.

The school considers attendance below 90% to be a cause for concern.
If a student has low attendance, their teachers may not be able to assess them in all the reported areas.
