Minimum Grades Uses prior attainment at GCSE – average point score (APS) Uses relationship between grades students achieved at AS and A2 compared to the GCSE APS, in previous year These become minimum grades for current students but not aspirational grades They are not predicted grades!
Evidence shows that OVERALL performance at GCSE is the best indicator of how a student is likely to perform at A level However, these are minimum grades, a lot of students achieve beyond this – it helps you to know how your daughter/son is performing in their subjects. It helps us to know where they might be struggling.
For students They have minimum GRADES – the minimum they should be aiming for, given that students in the same position as them last year achieved these grades. Communicated to students early in the course as well as setting aspirational grades alongside. Assessed work allows teachers and students to monitor progress. Dialogue between student and teacher to determine ‘how to get to and beyond’ the MG However, students also have an aspirational grade which they should be aiming for
How we use minimum grades To look at how your daughter/son is achieving; are they achieving their MG’s? Are they struggling in one area? What can they do about this to ensure that they achieve their MG? Used to measure progress e.g. the journey made between the students current grade and their target grade, used by subjects to monitor progress Most of you have been used to targets throughout your son/daughters school career, these still continue at the Centre.
However…. Personal Target Current Grade
