Reporting
We believe that the partnership between parents, students, and staff is a core principle of our mission statement, and reports play a vital role in bringing this partnership to life.
Each year group will receive three sets of academic reports. All report dates are listed in the school calendar, and they are scheduled to align with key internal assessments, external examinations, or other significant events.
Finally, reporting at Archbishop’s follows Government guidelines regarding timing, parental responses, and the information provided to parents..
Target Setting
Key Stage 3
Year 7 and 8: Students are assigned a target range (1-3, 4-6, 7-9) based on FFT data, which is informed by prior attainment (KS2 data, where available). Teachers assess the progress students make towards their target range.
Year 9: Students are set one target grade for each subject, based on prior attainment and using FFT data. Teachers assess the progress students make towards their target grade.
Key Stage 4
Year 10 and 11: Students are assigned one target grade for each subject, based on prior attainment and using FFT data. Teachers track students’ progress over the two years, based on assessment data.
Key Stage 5
Year 12 and 13: Students are assigned one target grade for each subject, based on prior attainment and using ALPS data. Teachers track students’ academic progress over the two years, based on assessments data.
For each subject, teachers provide assessments on effort, homework, and behaviour.
Assessments
Knowledge- and skills-based assessments are integrated into Schemes of Work (SOWs), alongside end-of-year assessments (Years 7-9) and mock examinations (Years 10-13). These assessments are designed to build resilience and measure the impact of the curriculum.
