Tracking against target grades - Ensure students are on target throughout their academic career - Take early action where necessary - It is reasonable to expect students to be within one grade of their end of year target - Attainment which is more than one grade below end of year target may signify significant underachievement and is therefore a cause for concern. - Students will be asked to repeat work which is not of a high enough standard
Overall Student Attainment – Attainment 8 Pot 1: English (worth double) Pot 2: Mathematics (worth double) Pot 3: 3 Ebacc subjects (Sciences, History, Geography, MFL, Computing) Pot 4: 3 other ‘high quality’ qualifications
