Dear Parent/Carer,

At 3pm on Friday 12^th December Year 10 Tracking Data shall be uploaded to pupils’ MCAS profiles. You can view this by selecting the ‘Reports’ section within the menu of your child’s page. We have already begun to share assessment results and next steps in lessons with our Year 10 pupils in order to quickly drive progress.

I hope that this has focused the minds of pupils on what needs to be done to achieve what they need to meet their expectations. This will be achieved hand in hand with a focus on behaviour, attendance and the steps required to achieve target grades.

For each subject, the following information will appear in your child’s data report:

• Assessment Percentage – this is the percentage that your child achieved in the most recent assessments, taken in November 2025
• Predicted Grade – the grade that your child’s teacher predicts they will attain at the end of the course.
• Three separate judgements on your child’s behaviour for learning, effort and work rate, and completion and attitude to homework and revision. We have added more details to these reports to allow families to have a clearer understanding of where their child needs to specifically improve and also to celebrate their achievements. These include an averaged Overall Learner Status.

• Form Tutor Comment – there will be a brief comment from your child’s form tutor summarising their achievements and areas for development, as well as identifying any next steps that your child should take to accelerate their progress.

This tracking will be used by Subject Leaders and the School Leadership Team to review the progress of each pupil in Year 10 and to help plan for success as we move forwards.

You will notice for Personal Development lessons there are different details on assessment and progress. As this subject is non-examined, we feel this provides the necessary information on your child’s learning in this subject.

I hope you find this useful in supporting your child’s progress. For issues regarding your child’s progress, please contact your child’s form tutor in the first instance, or contact the Head of Year 10, Mr Warne, for other enquiries.

We shall be happy to continue to support our pupils and families.

Yours faithfully,

Mr J Crofts

Assistant Headteacher
