Assessment and reporting

Assessment at Martin High School is:

• Accurate and consistent
• Honest and ambitious
• Appropriate, meaningful and understandable
• Inspires greater effort through feedback and support
• Raises expectations and standards

The model for Key Stage Three:

• At KS3 we will use a model where learners are assessed relative to where they are expected to be for their given year group
• Learners are assessed on the number of Key performance indicators that they are able to meet
• The expectation relates to what a learner should be capable of achieving at this point for their year group
• This is relative to the work/topics covered in the subject at that point

The model:

	Level	Mastery Level
B	Beginning	Beginning to work towards age related expectation
W	Working Towards	Working towards age related expectation
S	Secure	Working at age related expectation
S+	Secure +	Working at greater depth

 

What will you get home?

• Each year we will officially track your child’s progress at three key points
• At these points the report home will include a reference to the progress your child is making, current grade and your child’s effort grade
• Your child’s current grade will be preceded by their year group e.g. A year 7 report will contain 7B,7W,7S
• As we get closer to the end of the year, your child will make progress towards an ‘End of Year target grade’.
