Numbers are Fine Graded for extra clarity, for example:

7+ A grade 7 but potential for an 8 STRONG PASS

7 A solid grade 7 5 and above = top of C and above

7- A weak 7 which without STANDARD PASS
consistent effort could drop to a 6 4 and above = bottom of C and above

Key Stage 5

Students in Year 12 and 13 are working toward their Level 3 qualifications.

Students will be issued with an estimated grade based upon their GCSE
average point score. Estimated grades may change during your child’s
time in the Sixth Form.
Grades issued are a Prediction of what we think they can achieve at the
end of Year 12 or 13 as appropriate if they continue to engage well in their
learning and make progress in line with national expectation.
Each student will also have an Estimated Grade for each subject which their
Professional Fine Grade Prediction can be compared against.

In addition, Years 12 and 13 are given an attendance grade from 1- 4.

1 Excellent attendance, over 95%

2 Very good to good attendance, over 90%

3 Some concern about attendance, even though the
absence has been authorised

4 Poor attendance which is causing concern
