Progress reports are completed 3 times per year for each year group. Dates for the current academic year can be seen in the school calendar. Reports are published in Go4Schools and notifications will be sent via email when this occurs. The data reported is very similar and is detailed below. At the top of each report, contact details are given if you have queries for either your child's House Learning Manager, or specific departments.

Grade descriptions:
Current Grade
This is automatically calculated by mark books within Go 4 Schools and is an aggregate grade created by a combination of completed assessments. It is therefore a live grade. It gives teachers, students and parents an accurate idea of how students are achieving at this current moment in time.
Projected Grade
This is the grade that a teacher believes that each student will achieve at the end of the course. It can be based on their current grade combined with the progress it is believed they will make if they carry on as they are at present.
