used to benchmark progress and

determine continuation into Year 13.

working board and national forums.

Making informed and responsible choices

• The ‘Rasch’ model attempts to quantify how difficult A levels are based on

comparing student performance against a general predictor of academic

ability.

• Whilst results are questionable, it is really important to ensure the choices a

student takes at A level gives them the best chance of success.

• Things to take into consideration:

– Assessment procedures

– Controllable elements, i.e. coursework

– Link to GCSE

– Specification content

‘Target setting’

• Targets are designed to outline minimum expected progress

based on tangible evidence

• They are not what we think your child ‘should’ get or what

they are capable of

• They are definitely not designed as a ceiling

• They are designed to show your son / daughter how

students of a similar profile achieve nationally, relevant to

the subject area.

use to pay for things like:

• clothing, books and other equipment for your course
