The FlightpathA students flight path is likely to vary between subjects and may not be linear
Starting points may vary for different subjects
Three assessment points involving a formal data capture – linked to reporting
Provides a projected progress pathway
Has ‘working towards’ grade for students who are below Grade 1 in KS3
Use ‘fine levelling’ to show security
Target GradesYear 11 ‘Landing’ point of the flightpath
Target grades are created based on KS2 SATs data:-English Target is based on ‘KS2 Reading SAT’
Maths Target is based on ‘KS2 Maths SAT’
All other subjects are based on average of KS2 Reading and Maths.
Set in Year 7 and tracked against leading towards their GCSE outcomes in Year 11.
The GCSE Grading criteriaGrade 4 is broadly equivalent to the old C Grade.
Grade 5 is seen as a new ‘good pass’ which will feature in some headline performance measures
New Grade 9 is above current A* (top 1/3 of current A* to achieve)
Achieving Grade 4 or above in English (either Language or Literature) and Maths is seen as meeting the ‘National pass standard’
