Working at Level WAL

This is the current level that your child’s teacher believes they are working at based on recent assessments. It may vary from term to term due to the topic being tested.

These grades are reported by teachers and indicate your child’s approach to learning in the classroom over the recent period of time.

E = Excellent G = Good S = Satisf actory but could be improved R = Requires immediate improvement
