Reporting

Year 10 & 11

We report to families at least three times a year, providing you with an overview of your child’s attainment, progress, and attitude to homework and learning.

Academic profiles are based on prior attainment in Key Stage 2 National Curriculum Tests. They are an estimate of how a student should perform in a particular subject when they take the final examination in Year 11. 

The academic profile will be shown as a GCSE grade (or equivalent). GCSE subjects use grades on a scale of 1 to 9: where 9 is the highest grade. Grade 4 is a standard pass, equivalent to a C grade under the legacy grading system. 

Projected grades are given by teachers to each student at each tracking point. It suggests what the student would likely get at the end of Year 11 based on all available assessment evidence, approaches to learning and homework. 

PPE (Pre-Public Examinations) grades are given when a student has completed a PPE in the specific qualification during PPEs slots. It shows the grade the student attained when completing a past paper under examination conditions.

Each subject will also report an attitude to homework and attitude to learning grade. See below for further detail.

Year 7, 8 & 9

Academic profiles are based on prior attainment in Key Stage 2 National Curriculum Tests. They are an estimate of how a student should perform in a particular subject throughout the Key Stage 3. The academic profile will be shown as WT (working towards expected standard), EX (working at expected standard) or GD (working at greater depth).

The Rye College Key Stage Three report 

The elements to the KS3 reports are as follows and will apply to all subjects:

• Academic Profile: Every student will be provided with a profile. This will indicate, based on the student’s prior attainment
• Knowledge Grade: See table below

All years: Attitude to homework (independent study) and Attitude to learning

For each report, teachers provide feedback on a student’s attitude to homework and learning. A positive attitude to learning in the classroom and independent study is crucial for a student to be successful in their learning. Teachers consider the range of behaviours and approaches they observe in the student’s work and approach to learning (see table below), and provide an overall judgement (‘outstanding’ to ‘cause for concern’).
