Assessment without levels?
• Since September 2015,national curriculum levels have been removed from years 7 , 8 and 9.
• All schools have had to decide their own system for assessment without levels
• At the end of year 11 all students will sit GCSE exams and be given a scale of 1 to 9.
• The new system is personalised to your child where students are assessed each term against the knowledge, skills and understanding they have demonstrated within each subject
TRANSFORMING LEADERSHIP, ENGAGING LEARNING, CHANGING LIVES
Assessment Principles
• Give reliable and clear information to parents about how their child is performing
• Help drive improvement for students and teachers
TRANSFORMING LEADERSHIP, ENGAGING LEARNING, CHANGING LIVES
How have we banded?
• We have used your child’s KS2 levels as a guide to produce suggested bands
• Baseline assessments, progress checks, classwork and home learning has also informed the setting of these bands
• Your child’s band is not set in stone and if a student performs consistently above their target band then there will be a target band change in the relevant subject.
