  Reports 2016

   

  This year there is a new reporting format, which has been redesigned to reflect the new curriculum being taught and the new reporting requirements, where your child is assessed as either meeting curriculum expectations for their age or working towards curriculum expectations for their age.

   

  To help you make sense of the changes please refer to the codes below:

   

  What does E/D/S mean?

  In each year group pupils could be Emerging (E) Developing (D) or Secure (S). This refers to the amount of objectives they have achieved. 

  E = 33% objectives achieved

  D = 34% - 66% objectives achieved

  S = 67% - 100% objectives achieved

   

  Example:  Y4S  means 'Year 4 Secure' 

   

  What does Progress mean?

  Depending on your child's starting and end point will depend on the amount of progress they have made. 

   

  A = Outstanding and Well above Expected

  B = Very Good and above expected

  C = Expected

  D = Slightly below expected

  E = Well below expected

   

  What does Effort mean?

  Depending on your child's approach to learning and involvement will depend on the effort score.

   

  1= Outstanding and well above expected

  2= Very Good and above expected

  3= Expected

  4 = Slightly below expected

  5 = Well below expected

   

  What does # mean?

  # provides more detail relating to your child's attainment and depth of learning. For example a child may be secure at the end of year but have a #3 which shows they are above the expected standard. 

   

  #1 - below expected standard

  #2 - at standard

  #3 - above expected standard

  #4 - well above the expected standard

• Message from WCESS for Year 6

  Fri 01 Jul 2016

  Wolverley Secondary CE School 

   

  This time of year is really important to Year 6 students who are allocated a place at Wolverley Secondary CE School in September and we want to make the transition process as smooth as possible for students. Our New Intake Evening last night was really successful; parents, carers and students feel reassured with the move to Wolverley.

   

  The three transition days are Monday, 11^th to Wednesday, 13^th July 2016 from 8.40am until 3.10pm. Students will have an opportunity to spend time with their Head of College, Assistant Head of College, participate in some of our lessons and be introduced to the procedures of the school.

   

  Students need to arrive promptly before the day starts at 8.40am; older students will meet them in the main playground and escort them to the hall. Students should arrive in their current school uniform and must bring a packed lunch or cash and a PE kit. We operate a cashless catering system and so, on the first day, they will have their finger print taken and be shown how to pay the cash into the machines to then be able to purchase refreshments.
