  14. Standards and Achievement Key Points: How do we do it – strategies that deliver success for all? • PiXL membership x 300+ = schools network with our own PiXL Associate • Our targets for students come from ‘FFT D’ estimates (top 25% Nationally) note ‘school’s actual 2012 results = value added factor – FFTD – 86% (5+ A* - C passes) actual 100% = +14% factor and FFTD 64% inc. English and Maths, actual 72% = + 8% factor • Individual One to one meetings with students x 3 per year to review progress • We issue grade reports x 3 per year to monitor and report progress which we internally monitor on a further 3 occasions per year. We state ‘current performance’ and FFT D estimates • In addition we offer: One to one and small group teaching and support, additional lessons afterschool, additional GCSE equivalent options, bespoke timetables, early entry in Maths and English, outstanding teaching and a whole school commitment to achieving success.

  15. Standards and Achievement Key Points - continued: • We focus on reporting ‘indicative’ grades i.e. C1, C2, C3 • We focus on a minimum of two sub-levels progression per year e.g. • Student ‘A’ in July of Year 9 = English C1 • Student ‘A’ in July of Year 10 = B2 • Student ‘A’ in July of Year 11 = A3. • We expect students to: complete all set homework, read and action all assessment comments by their teachers, attend extra classes, complete all classwork and ask for help.
