To inspire confident learners who will thrive
in a changing world
Key Stage 3 Assessments• We use teacher assessments;• English, Mathematics and Science;• Levels 3-8;• Sub levels, a, b ,c (+, =, -);• Levels just as before…
Key Stage 3 Assessments• Year 9• Split levels• 6c = 6.2• 6b = 6.5• 6a = 6.8• 7c = 7.2• 7b = 7.5• 7a = 7.8• Mean figure
Setting the target for KS4
• Take the Teacher Assessed split levels for English, Mathematics & Science;
• Take the average;• Add approximately two levels of progress.
If only it was so simple…
• Fischer Family Trust;• A Government estimate for GCSE based on
KS2 for each student in each subject in every school in the country;
• Grade estimate for each subject.
The target setting process
• Our target vs FFT estimate – we choose the most challenging target;
• Subject teachers then check with their own data and can amend targets with good evidence to support their amendments;
• Consult with students about the targets and amend if agreed – vast majority up rather than down!
2+2: Levels to grades…
• Ave KS3 level 3 + 2 levels = 5 = grade E• 4 + 2 = 6 = grade D• 5 + 2 = 7 = grade C• 6 + 2 = 8 = grade B• 7 + 2 = 9 = grade A• 8 + 2 = 10 = grade A*
Adding Two Levels of Progress
Why these targets work…
• It is a target for each student, not just for the brightest;
• Although we may never reach it we should get better by working towards it;
• The national data shows that students CAN achieve way beyond expectations;
• The target puts each student in charge of his or her own learning.
What happens next…• The teachers have these targets;• They have discussed them with students over the
last few weeks;• Students have had the chance to negotiate the
targets up (and in very rare cases, down);• Ask your son/daughter about his/her targets;• Students will have stickers in their planners by the
end of this week;• You have the targets in your letter.
Tracking progress
• On-line Reporting;• Personal log-in;• Three assessments for every student, for every
subject, every year;• Comments too;• The reporting system will tell you if your child is
on target.
