2. Your REACH Grade
Based on research and feedback you will not have an MTG or Challenge Grade this year.
Feedback was that the two grades were confusing and that the MTG was demotivating.
You will now have a single REACH grade for each subject that you should work hard to achieve.
For UCAS applicants it is likely your predicted grade will also be your REACH grade.
Over the year and in discussion with your teacher your REACH grade can be moved up or down dependent on your progress.
REACH grades are being released to students on Monday 6 October.

3. Your REACH Learning Targets
Every course has two common REACH learning targets for the induction / transition phase.
You will have personalised REACH learning targets set during REACH week 1:1 discussions with your teachers.
Your current qualification REACH learning targets are shown below…
