Standard Assessment Reports Explained

How are predicted grades calculated?
Each Predicted Grade is based on a variety of information; step assessment marks, low stakes quiz outcomes, evidence of work produced in class and remotely, in addition to mock exam/standard assessment results and completed coursework tasks. Please note that predictions in all years can vary throughout the year, as the national picture of GCSE performance and exam board grade boundaries change.
How are target grades calculated?
You will be able to ascertain how your child is performing in comparison to how students perform nationally with the same CAT4 scores by comparing their Predicted Grade with their two Target Grades.
- If your child’s Predicted Grade for a subject is in line with their top 20% target grade, it means your child is performing in the top 20% nationally in their subject and is making excellent progress with their learning.
- If your child’s Predicted Grade for a subject is in line with their top 50% target grade, it means your child is performing in the top 50% nationally in their subject and is making expected progress with their learning.
- If your child’s Predicted Grade lies below the 50% grade, your child is performing in the bottom 50% nationally in the subject and their progress with their learning is limited. This would be an area of focus in terms of home study and revision.
What does my child's Work Hard Score mean?
These scores represent your child’s effort in the classroom and their attitudes to their learning. This report provides you with an overall ‘Work Hard’ score based on how hard they have worked in each subject.
