Yr 7 end of year report

I couldn't feel any less informed I think. I've even googled to see what government guidelines are for KS3 reports. Couldn't find anything. Maybe that says just as much as if I found reams.

The report contained:
Attendance %
List of individual subject test %
Attitude to learning 1-5 per subject.

Attendance I'm obvs familiar with.
Attitude is nice to know, a bit interesting.

But those test %... so it's 70%.. but what if they were given an a-level test paper, or just asked to colour in their names?! What if the rest of the class got 99%, or 5%. So these numbers are meaningless.

Then there is ZERO other info. How have they done over the year? Have they improved? Are they where the school would expect or like to see them?!

What are your kids end of year reports like? AIBU to expect a bit more info?!

DD3 gets attendance, number of good conduct points (with a comparison of the year average), mastery level for each subject, effort and engagement rating, and independent learning grade.

We get an explanation of what each mastery level means, and statistics for what percentage of students in their year got each of the mastery, effort & engagement, and independent learning grades.

The last report of the year has a short statement from the form tutor.

I was underwhelmed too. No end of year report, just the same as we got for the first 2 terms:

List of the subjects with target grades for y7 (GCSE grades so was a mixture of 2s and 3s, not sure what they've been based on and whether they all have the same targets) alongside each term the grade she's actually achieved - can see various ones have gone up or down over the year but no further explanation)

And for each subject a grade for both attitude and organisation, ie good/outstanding etc.

No comments, no test results. I was expecting something more comprehensive at the end of the year so will be interesting to see what other schools do.
