Understanding School Reports

Key Stage 3

We promote the key attributes of the ‘South Craven Learner’ in all that we do: Courage, Enquiry and Growth and the nine important characteristics we want all students to demonstrate and develop.

Courage	Enquiry	Growth
See failure as a learning opportunity	Take responsibility for your own progress	Take all opportunities
Never give up	Be reliable and respectful	Be creative and imaginative
Take risks	Respond to feedback	Be curious

Progress Judgment (Growth)

Our teachers use ‘benchmark data’ to decide how well your child is making progress. When making a decision, we consider how your child compares to how all students perform nationally.

H	High (=100%)	Your child is making better progress than expected
G	Good (=80%)	Your child is making good progress, in line with our expectations
V	Variable (=60%)	Your child is making progress, but not always consistentlyand overall progress is lower than expected
L	Low (=30%)	Your child is making less progress than we would expect
N	None (=0%)	Your child has made very little or no progress since the last report

Attitude to Classroom Learning (Courage)

Classrooms, art rooms, workshops, labs, computer rooms, gym, field…wherever your child is learning in school, this is how we let you know how much focus and effort they are putting in!

H	High (=100%)	All work is completed to a high standard Your child takes risks in the classroom with extra or more difficult work sometimes attempted. Your child thrives on challenge and learns from their mistakes They are enthusiastic about their work, and use teachers’ feedback carefully to help them improve.
G	Good (=80%)	All work is completed thoroughly, they never shy away from challenges and do their best They are hard-working and they act on the feedback teachers give
V	Variable (=60%)	Your child usually completes work and focuses, but not always Sometimes they act on feedback to improve their work
L	Low (=30%):	Your child often does not complete work, and is reluctant to engage in learning and class discussion. They must take every opportunity to improve, and to act on the feedback teachers give to help improve
N	None 9 (=0%)	Your child is not engaged in learning Very little work is completed and little learning takes place We have serious concerns about attitude, behaviour or attendance

Attitude to Independent Learning (Enquiry)

It’s not just the homework we set…it’s everything your child does outside of school to make the best progress they can, through additional learning and practising skills. The more curious, independent and self-motivated they become, the more successful they can be now and in the future.

H	High (=100%):	Your child completes all their homework to the highest standard, and has great independent learning skills They are always curious and use their own time outside the school day to participate in additional learning and practice
G	Good (=80%):	Your child completes all homework They often participate in additional learning outside of school to support their work in school and make better progress
V	Variable (=60%):	Your child usually does homework They will sometimes engage in additional learning outside of school
L	Low (=30%):	Your child often does not complete homework They often struggle to engage in any learning outside of school
N	None (=0%):	Your child does little or no homework or learning outside of school
