This document explains the changes to the assessment reporting system we are currently using so that you can fully understand your child's progress report. The system works exactly the same as it did in 2022/2023, and you should find the reports clear and easy to understand when you receive them.  \nSection 1: Targets  \nAll students will receive a 9-1 Target for each of their subjects (except Core PE and BTEC subjects) . These targets are based upon DfE national statistics , using Aspire FFt-20 target setting system and tell you what GCSE grade your child should be aiming for based upon their Key Stage 2 SATs data. For years 8 and 9 , targets are based upon CAT/GL baseline assessments which were completed in school, instead of KS2 SATs which were cancelled as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.  \nThese targets are what your child should be aiming to achieve at the end of year 11 in their GCSE examinations. In lessons, students will be given a target band which shows that we are aspirational and we see the target as the minimum that your child should be aiming for. The target bands are shown below and are based upon the students target grade.  \n\n| Target | Target Band |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | 1 to 3 |\n| 2 | 2 to 4 |\n| 3 | 3 to 4 |\n| 4 | 4 to 5 |\n| 5 | 5 to 6 |\n| 6 | 6 to 7 |\n| 7 | 7 to 8 |\n| 8 | 8 to 9 |\n| 9 | 9 |\n\nNew system  \nIn the previous reporting system (prior to 2021) we broke these year 11 targets down into end of year 7/8/9/10 targets so students had a flightpath showing what target they needed to achieve in each year, in each subject, to reach their target grade. To simplify the reporting system-we now use a system whereby a student’s target grades for each subject they study, will remain the same from Years 7-11. This is best visualised on the diagrams below. Please note that the target is not equivalent to a GCSE grade until Year 11.  \nExample 1: A student has a target grade of 6 for Maths:  \n\n| Maths Target = 6 |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  | Year 11 |  |\n|  |  |  | Year 10 | 9 |  |\n|  |  | Year 9 | 9 | 8 |  |\n|  | Year 8 | 9 | 8 | 7 |  |\n| Year 7 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | Target = 6 |\n| 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 |  |\n| 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 |  |\n| 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 |  |\n| 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |  |\n| 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |  |\n| 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |  |  |\n| 3 | 2 | 1 |  |  |  |\n| 2 | 1 |  |  |  |  |\n| 1 |  |  |  |  |  |\n\nThis diagram shows that their target will be a grade 6 in Maths throughout years 7-11 and this child should be aiming for at least a GCSE Grade 6 in Maths in Year 11. You will notice that a grade 6 in years 7-10 is not equivalent to the GCSE grade 6 in year 11.  \nExample 2: A student has a target grade of a 4 for English:  \n\n| English Target = 4 |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  | Year 11 |  |\n|  |  |  | Year 10 | 9 |  |\n|  |  | Year 9 | 9 | 8 |  |\n|  | Year 8 | 9 | 8 | 7 |  |\n| Year 7 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 |  |\n| 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 |  |\n| 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | Target = 4 |\n| 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 |  |\n| 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |  |\n| 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |  |\n| 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |  |  |\n| 3 | 2 | 1 |  |  |  |\n| 2 | 1 |  |  |  |  |\n| 1 |  |  |  |  |  |\n\nThis diagram shows that their target will be a grade 4 in English throughout years 7-10 and this child should be aiming for at least a GCSE Grade 4 in English in year 11. Once again a grade 4 in years 7-10 is not equivalent to the GCSE grade 4 inYear 11.  \nSection 2: Working at Grades and Progress  \nIn addition to a target grade for all the subjects that your child studies, your child will receive a “Working at Grade”for each subject on their report. The Working at Grade is based upon assessments that your child has completed in that subject. The Working at Grade will also be reported using the 9-1 system. It is important to note that your child’s Working at Grade can go up or down within a ye","cbCaimH0ExH4qmsc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimH0ExH4qmsc","pdf",670770,"English","# Section 1: Targets\n## Target setting and 9-1 target bands\n## New system: targets remain the same Years 7-11\n# Section 2: Working at Grades and Progress\n## Working at Grade and continual updates\n## Comparing Target Grade vs Working at Grade\n## Progress descriptors: exceptional, good, more progress needed","[{\"question\":\"What changed in Woodrush’s assessment reporting system in 2021?\",\"answer\":\"The assessment reporting system was changed to make reports easier for parents to understand.
