Listen "Parent Workshop - Secondary Assessment and Reporting by Carla Hyland, Deputy Head of Secondary School"

Episode Synopsis

This morning Mrs Hyland presented to Secondary parents about how teachers assess student progress, how it is reported, and how the school supports students who may be underperforming.
The talk focused on the importance of finding out the students starting point by using CAT data and teacher assessment to form a baseline assessment, how we use CAT data to generate Key Stage 3 subject specific ‘thresholds’ and Key Stages 4 and 5 target grades, and how we measure progress towards these targets over time. She also shared the new reports structure for Key Stages 3-5 for this academic year and shared strategies for what parents can do at home to support their children’s learning.
