Just had DD (yr8) termly progress chech, and on the whole the best yet.
What we do not understand is how these compare with yr6 sats. when we asked the teachers last year ( then concerned of some 4a targets when she had already been level 5 in yr6 ) we were just told it is 'different''.
she is still only working at 5a in English (eoy target 6c) and that's top set.
Two subjects she is classed as G&T in she is working at level 6b, with 6a Eoy target. Yet for Maths where she has already reached her 6a target she is not G&T.
Other subjects for which she has met/ exceeded previos targets, the target has been raised. As it hasn't for maths & MFL does this mean she won't learn any more this year?
She also has no FFT targets still.
And the bit about level 5 being the 'national average' at ks3. What GCSE grade does that equate to?
We get to discuss with the form teacher next week, but this usually means setting 2 targets to improve the worst of it. In the teachers view that is likely to be improving PE (difficult as she misses lots of lessons for Violin) and food tech which bores her silly as she did it all in yr3 and 4. These were the only subjects she did not get P's in.
She would rather have targets to start Drama and RS Gcse course early with a view to taking RS in year 9 and drama as a twilight option, as she won't have room in her choices.
