Subject attainment
Pupils’ attainment is compared to the expectations for their year group. Attainment is graded in the following bands: Greater Depth (GD): Pupils working beyond the standard expected for their year group, showing greater depth of understanding. Expected (EX): Pupils who are working at the standard expected for their year group. Working Towards (WT): Pupils working at the appropriate age curriculum, but who have not yet secured all the expected learning for their year group. Below (B): Pupils who are not yet working on the objectives linked to their year group.
Preparation for Learning
A full transcript of your child’s attendance up to Friday 5th July 2019 will accompany this report. The ‘Behaviour and effort’ section above will not be filled in beforehand but will be discussed as part of the Parent-Teacher meetings in July.

Attendance and Punctuality Behaviour and effort
Over and above
Attendance is 99% or higher and/or always in school on time.
A role model for other pupils due to their excellent behaviour and effort
Good Attendance is 96% or higher and/or very rarely late to school.
Always meets the Ashmead expectations for behaviour and makes consistently good effort with all work set.
Satisfactory Attendance is between 94 – 96% and/or usually on time for school.
Usually makes good behaviour choices and shows effort in class.
Room for Improvement
Attendance is below 94% and/or is occasionally late to school.
Occasionally misses learning opportunities due to behaviour or effort not always being consistently applied.
Cause for Concern
Attendance is below 90% and/or frequently late to school.
Incidents of poor behaviour cause disruption for other pupils and/or a poor attitude is shown in lessons.
