Informing Parents Each Term

Each term I will compile the information from all the scores obtained to produce an overview report and graph to show progress and recommend focus for future work. 
It is age standardised like the real 11+ test. 

Pupil names are removed in all correspondence



The red line on the above mark would be an approximate pass mark for Marling or SHS

2015-2016: Spring Term Assessment

The graph shows results split into the 3 main 11+ areas, and also gives an overall figure. Mr Barber's is the 2nd bar. I have left other bars in to give you an idea of comparisons, although remember most pupils I teach are above average in ability.

Things to note:

·         Maths and English are based on 15 marks, NVR on 6 marks.

·         The ‘Overall’ mark bar is weighted to give English 50%, NVR 25% and Maths 25% importance.

·         The mark is age-standardised so younger children’s marks will be a little higher (born after Feb), and vice versa.

·         Pass for Marling/ SHS estimated to be about on the red line.

·         As with last year the pass mark may vary a little depending on how many places are offered this year. More places = a lower pass mark.

·         Remember it is only a guide from work covered so far and should in no way be interpreted as an accurate prediction, more as a tool for targeting efforts. 

Mr Barber's work is still a bit inconsistent; targeting and improving his maths and NVR would probably be the simplest thing, while doing his best at improving vocabulary and spelling. I would note his overall mark is dragged down by one NVR score and I feel with some steady effort he still stands a good chance of passing.

   

2015-2016: Spring Term Assessment  sent

The graph shows results split into the 3 main 11+ areas, and also gives an overall figure. Mrs Barber is the 4th bar. I have left other bars in to give you an idea of comparisons, although remember most pupils I teach are above average in ability.

Things to note:

·         Maths and English are based on 15 marks, NVR on 6 marks.

·         The ‘Overall’ mark bar is weighted to give English 50%, NVR 25% and Maths 25% importance.

·         The mark is age-standardised so younger children’s marks will be a little higher (born after Feb), and vice versa.

·         Remember it is only a guide from work covered so far and should in no way be interpreted as an accurate prediction, more as a tool for targeting efforts. 

Mrs Barber’s work is generally good and consistent; maintaining and and improving her general levels in maths and NVR would probably be the best thing, while continuing to extend her vocabulary and spelling as much as possible too.


Should you wish to have a  1 off assessment that can be arranged too.
