Page 2 - Student Assessment Guide Nov 19

This leaflet explains how we will track, assess and report on the progress your child is making on
their learning journey through Ivybridge Community College.

Rationale
The College will assess each student at three points throughout the year and report back to
parents in November, March and July.
Information will be provided on Conduct, Effort and Progress.
Ivybridge Community College is an effort driven school where all students can achieve their
potential through hard work, 100% effort every day and a belief that there are no shortcuts or in fact,
secrets, to success.
In line with the College PACE policy, Conduct and Effort are the most important drivers at
Ivybridge Community College. These are our key and consistent foci at each Assessment Point.

Conduct and Effort Grades
All students are awarded Conduct and Effort Grades on a scale of 1-4 for each subject at
every assessment point.
Students are awarded the Conduct Grade and Effort Grade which best describe their
characteristics as a learner.
Student Conduct and Effort is monitored closely; intervention and support are put in place if
this falls below our expectations.
