My daughter is in year 7 and has just had the following results in her report.
The results seem very varied and the targets for end of year 7 seems very high to me for a child in year 7.
Can anyone advise please? What is she doing well in and what needs improving?
She achieved level 5 in Maths, Eng and Science at Primary.

Maths 5c target 6c
English 4a target 5a
Science 6b target 6c
Art 3a target 6c
ICT 5a target 6c
Geog 5b target 6c
History 6c target 6c
Language 2a target 3b
PE 4c target 6c
RE 4a target 6c

My son has

Maths 8B Target 6C
Science 6A Target 4A
English 7C Target 5C

These are the only ones we have got so far but his levels say on the report they are for end of KS3

I thought the targets were low for the levels he got

Levels are supposed to have been abolished with schools using different systems - there isn't a national one, so schools seem to make it up as they go along. In the school my DDs go to, they go by GCSE marks from Yr9 (they choose options in Yr8) and before that it's 'Emerging, 'Secure', 'Mastery', with the latter meaning more or less 'is flying'. It is done topic by topic, so a DC might get 'Emerging' in basic Trig but be getting 'Mastery' in Ratios. I find it quite useful as it helps me focus the support I provide at home, but it could be seen as confusing.
