Standard Assessment Reports Explained

What does my child's Attainment Score mean?
Teachers will submit an Attainment Score which reflects how much each student knows and remembers. Below is what each score represents:
- Green = Based on what has been taught so far this student knows and remembers the majority of the content which has been taught and can combine this knowledge in complex tasks to a good standard. There may be a few gaps in knowledge.
- Amber = Based on what has been taught so far this student knows and remembers a lot of the content which has been taught and can combine this knowledge in complex tasks. There may be some gaps in knowledge.
- Red = Based on what has been taught so far this student knows and remembers some of the content which has been taught and attempts to combine this knowledge in complex tasks. There are gaps in knowledge.
- Black = This pupil has not sat their standard assessment. It is not possible to determine a raw mark and therefore no attainment score can be calculated.
What does my child's Progress Score mean?
Teachers will submit a Relative Progress Score which reflects how much each student knows and remembers, compared to other students with a similar starting point. Below is what each score represents:
- Gold = Based on what has been taught so far this student knows and remembers more than other students with a similar starting point.
- Silver = Based on what has been taught so far this student knows and remembers around the same as other students with a similar starting point.
- Bronze = Based on what has been taught so far this student knows and remembers less than other students with a similar starting point.
- Black = This pupil has not sat their standard assessment. It is not possible to determine a raw mark and therefore no progress score can be calculated.
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.
