Ensuring Positive Progress and Achievement for all
From the moment your child joins the school until the day that he or she leaves, their progress is monitored to ensure their success. Information from the previous school attended, plus our own assessments inform us. We use these sources of information to celebrate their successes and intervene where we feel there is a need. In addition to teachers’ day to day assessments, and the care and guidance of Progress Managers, assessments are analysed on a termly basis. This information is communicated to pupils and parents in the Progress Day, Parents Evening, Gradesheets and reports, including through our Firefly learning platform.
As a school, we endeavour to provide our students with the support they need, particularly at crucial times in the school calendar. Form Tutors engage their students in Learning Conversations, and students can take part in specific mentoring and support programmes, to secure their progress.
In addition, the school offers innumerable opportunities for enjoyment and achievement out of the classroom through the successful sporting and music programmes, our excellent Extended Schools Provision, and a wide range of residential and day trips.
There is strong evidence that involvement in this sort of activity is linked with good academic achievement as the child engages positively with all the school offers, so we do encourage all to take part in at least one extra-curricular activity (many would like to be involved in all!).
