Assessment at BOA Key Stage 4 October 2019

Setting Targets and Expectations Appropriate Stretch and Challenge Minimum Expectation TARGET PROGRESS SINCE YEAR 6 Baseline Tests in Maths, English and Science CAT Tests ESTIMATED GRADE Key Stage 2 SAT scores. 2018 & 2019 National Averages. TARGET EARLY TEACHER ASSESSMENT In class progress measurements, assessments, observations and predictions

Assessing Progress TESTING Testing in small chunks – to identify stronger and weaker areas (perhaps by unit/topic) Testing in cumulative chunks – to measure retention, connectivity, approaches to revision Practice assignments/projects IN THE CLASSROOM Responses to questioning Engagement with activities Roles in group work Responses to specific instructions and briefs Level of support accessed/required/requested Literacy and communication skills Resilience and growth mindset MARKING Differentiated homework tasks Folders Books Assignments Continuous assessment for learning, as learning and of learning. Summarised and reviewed every half-term. Planned learning journey

Reporting back to you Grade Cards Full Report Parents’ Evening 3 or 4 per year (via email) 1 per year (via email) 1 per year Data for each subject: Target Grade Predicted Grade Work Ethic Grade Plus: Attendance Praise Points Behaviour Points Grade Card Data Teacher Comments Tutor Comments Teacher/Tutor discussion supported by Grade Card Data This year you should have already had the Principal’s Welcome Letter via email and a Calendar Notification via text. If not please would you let reception know your details so we can ascertain why, and get that sorted out for you.

Reporting back to you Understanding Predictions Target Prediction 7 5 Target Prediction 7 8 Target Prediction 7 Understanding Predictions Personalised lesson tasks Additional lessons IAP Close monitoring On report Mentor Extra support in lessons Group change SEN screening The prediction matches the target This tells you your child is making progress at the rate we planned. The prediction is below target This tells you your child is not making the progress we planned at this point in time. It also tells you the impact we currently predict this will have. Most importantly for us, it indicates that intervention is required to get this learner back onto the planned flightpath. The prediction is above target This tells you your child is making better progress than we planned and that therefore we are raising our expectations of him/her.

Our pathways At the centre of every pathway is a BTEC L2 single award. Creative, Digital and Performing – NEW Pearson BTEC Tech Award Music – Pearson BTEC First Award Built of three to four components/units. One component/unit is externally assessed and completed under exam conditions. This externally assessed unit result has a significant impact on the final grade and must be passed to secure the qualification. Grading: D* = Distinction * D = Distinction M = Merit P = Pass Units are graded using the same system. Simply put, the final grade is an average of the unit grades. We aim for all our students to achieve a Distinction and at least 8/10 to achieve a Dist*.

The new GCSEs In 2015 the migration to the new GCSE 9-1 system began. Your children will be our forth cohort to take a full programme of the new GCSEs.

Progress 8 This has raised expectations nationally. It is a school performance measure. Students are now expected to achieve at least 8 GCSEs (not 5) as a minimum. Progress Achieving as many Standard Passes as possible Distance travelled since leaving Year 6 Illustrative Example: A student who did very poorly at primary school and then achieved an average grade 3 at GCSE A student who excelled at primary school and then only achieved standard passes (grade 4) at GCSE

To conclude It has always been important to us that your children excel at BOA It is more important than ever that your children fully realise their potential in all their subjects. This year the data indicates that this is an able year group. I.e. they did exceptionally well at Primary School. Therefore for most, a pass grade (4/5 or “C”) is simply not what we should be aiming for. Please help us give your children and BOA the best possible chance of success by: Choosing to believe in the targets we set Reinforcing the message that we should always aim to do our best, not just pass.

Thank You You will hear from us after half-term when we have set targets and reviewed core subject groupings. In December you will receive the first full gradecard. We publish a set of FAQs on our website to help make sense of the gradecards.
