KS3 performance criteria

[Soba]

Hello!
I am a bit lost here actually.My child joined at the start of KS3 and had an average score between thirty something to forty something percent in internal assessments.Being new to the system imagined the following year would familiarize us better .But December next year there's virtually no change in the score.The school says forty percent is considered progress.Its an IGSCE school in South East Asia.I find that hard to believe or understand.Is the average score for thirty or forty percent considered progress in a government or private run school in the U.K.??Many thanks already!!Appreciate any info!

Schools in UK use their own individual methods for working out and reporting progress in KS3.
So I think you will need to ask the school.

You need to talk to the school.
FWIW, I'd have thought since she has had a further year of teaching, she will be tested on harder stuff so keeping the same score means she is a year further ahead. But thus us just as a parent at an international school, not with any teaching experience.

Appreciate!!

Progress is there but my child is capable of far more , very reasonably speaking . The school does not have textbooks or such . It says he is performing well to his yardstick. I am just trying to get a sense of how bad or how normal this performance is .
