Behaviour and Expectations• Year 10 are currently the best behaved ( in terms of lowest seclusion,
isolation) and this is to be maintained via the close support received from home.
• The year motto is “Simply the Best” , based on attainment grades throughout KS3, behaviour , participation in school life and the general ethos of the students who take pride in their performance and the school.
• The expectation is that ALL students will achieve 5 A* -C GCSE grades at the end of Year 11. This can only be done by commitment and effort from the students, the staff and parental support

Standards and AchievementKey Points:
How do we do it – strategies that deliver success for all?– PiXL membership x 300+ = schools network with our own PiXL Associate– Our targets for students come from ‘FFT D’ estimates (top 25% Nationally) note
‘school’s actual 2012 results = value added factor – FFTD – 86% (5+ A* - C passes) actual 100% = +14% factor and FFTD 64% inc. English and Maths, actual 72% = + 8% factor
– Individual One to one meetings with students x 3 per year to review progress – We issue grade reports x 3 per year to monitor and report progress which we internally
monitor on a further 3 occasions per year. We state ‘current performance’ and FFT D estimates
– In addition we offer: One to one and small group teaching and support, additional lessons afterschool, additional GCSE equivalent options, bespoke timetables, early entry in Maths and English, outstanding teaching and a whole school commitment to achieving success.
Standards and AchievementKey Points - continued:
– We focus on reporting ‘indicative’ grades i.e. C1, C2, C3– We focus on a minimum of two sub-levels progression per year e.g.
• Student ‘A’ in July of Year 9 = English C1• Student ‘A’ in July of Year 10 = B2• Student ‘A’ in July of Year 11 = A3.
– We expect students to: complete all set homework, read and action all assessment comments by their teachers, attend extra classes, complete all classwork and ask for help.
