Skills Pathways
Life After Levels
Year 7 and 8
Based on national research and good practice in other academies and schools, we have a ‘Pathway’ system in Year 7 and 8 of Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum in order to assess progress.
As an academy we receive the raw scores attained in assessment in English and Mathematics at the end of Year 6 and in some cases a teacher assessment of above/at/below age related expectations. Students in Year 7 will be given a target pathway which indicates the range of grades they should expect to be working towards for their GCSE courses.
Each pathway incorporates a range of predicted attainment grades that are shared with students and used in lessons. Module Grade reports to parents will indicate three times a year if students are working in line with their predicted pathway based on evidence from lessons and through internal assessments.
