Assessments for all Year Groups

 

 

 

 

July 12^th 2021

Dear Parents,

 

Your daughter or son’s Assessment Sheet will be available on the SIMS Parent App from Wednesday morning. We will be monitoring this closely and remedy any issues which may arise during Wednesday morning.

 

We hope that both you and your child(ren) will find cause for celebration and that the grades they have received will inform their work for this half-term and beyond.

 

Full explanation of the Codes used for Assessment Grades will be available with the Assessment Grades but please note particularly the following -

 

Areas of Concern for parental information and support:

 

A	Attendance irregular
B	Behaviour in class is affecting work
C	Coursework or Homework outstanding
E	Equipment for lessons sometimes or often lacking
I	Insufficient attention to Coursework or Homework outside class
L	Late to lessons
P	Work sometimes or often handed in late
Q	Quality of work completed not of personal best

 

If you have any query or concern around your daughter or son’s Assessments please contact their Academy Director on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

 

Some Reminders:

 

Attendance

Next school year we will continue our focus on student attendance.  Every student should be aiming for 100%, except in the most exceptional circumstances. Less than 98% attendance is a serious cause for concern and identified by educational research as disruptive to students’ learning. Attendance recorded of students, who arrive and are marked late to school in the morning, or who are marked late in the afternoon, is reduced by their lateness.

 

Homework

We will also focus very closely on the completion of all Homework by all students to their best personal standard as we believe this is a vital key to student learning and progress. Homework set by teachers is shown in Google Classroom and should be recorded by students in student planners too. If you have not yet set up the Google Classroom Guardian Feature to receive your weekly summary of work set please contact school.

 

Mobile Phones and headphones / pods

We would like to remind parents and students that mobile phones should be turned off and in the bottoms of bags during Daily Tutor time and lessons, as well as when walking between lessons.

Students must not use mobile phones before break or lunch when use will be permitted.

This means that mobile phones should remain in students’ bags when moving between lessons.

Students must not wear or carry headphones or ear pods in school at any time.

 

May we also take this opportunity to thank parents for all their support and students for all their hard work since September.

                                                           

Yours Sincerely,

 

Sonette Schwartz
