Reporting

The information gained from assessment can be used as a means of reporting to parents/carers in several ways. Each session, pupils receive at least two formal reports about progress. There is also a chance each school year for parents/carers to meet formally with their child’s teachers at Parents’ Evening in order to discuss progress.

Broad General Education (S1-3)

BGE Reporting In S1 and S2, pupils receive ‘settling in’ reports in the first half of the year which show progress in terms of behaviour, effort and, where appropriate, homework. There is also a comment from the young person’s House Pupil Support Team.

In the second half of the year, pupils receive a tracking report. As well as covering behaviour, effort and homework ratings, it also includes attainment levels and target-based comments from each teacher.

For S2 pupils, this second report should help with course-choice decisions as they prepare to move into S3.

In S3, pupils receive two tracking reports providing details about behaviour, effort and, where appropriate, homework as well as attainment levels and target-based comments from each teacher. The second of these is timed to help with course choice decisions.

Attainment data for BGE pupils is based on the Curriculum for Excellence What is The Curriculum for Excellence? | LTSCOTLAND.ORG.UK ) level they are working within.

Each year group also has a formal Parents’ Evening during the year. Again, for S2 and S3, this is a vital component of the course-choice process.

Teachers will also report on progress within a level where appropriate using the following terms: emerging, enhancing, extending. This will give an idea of how close they are to achieving the level within which they are working.

Senior Phase

Senior Phase tracking reports for S4-6 are issued three times throughout the school session. The tracking reports contain information about attainment progress (a working grade), behaviour, effort and homework ratings as well as target-based comments and the focus is very much on next steps for improvement.

Parents Portal

Reports will be released to ParentsPortal on the date advertised in the calendar.  Young people will be given a paper copy of their report a few days later once they are printed and enveloped.
