KS4 Student Reports

Understanding your child’s report

Your child’s teacher will record the following information in the student report. Here’s what each term means:

Student Report Entry Guidance

GSCE Current Grade – this shows the grade your child is working at right now, based on where they are in the academic year, taking into consideration how much of the course they have completed.

GSCE Predicted Grade – this is the grade the teacher believes your child is likely to achieve by the end of the full course. It becomes more accurate as they progress through Years 10 and 11.

GSCE Mock Grade – This is the grade your child achieved in any formal assessment or mock exam.

GCSE Attitude to Learning Score – This score reflects your child’s effort and approach to learning. You can use the grid below to understand what each score means.

Attitude to Learning Grid

Grade	Word	Description
A	Excelling	We couldn’t ask any more of this pupil. They consistently work hard and are self-motivated to achieve. They are always prepared for their lessons.
B	Committed	This pupil completes the work set for them. They meet expectations and demonstrate a clear desire to achieve. They are usually prepared for their lessons.
C	Coasting	This pupil attempts their work. They do not always put the required effort into their work. They are sometimes prepared for lessons.
D	Reluctant	This pupil is regularly not completing work. There is a real cause for concern around the lack of effort in lessons. They have low aspirations and are not motivated to do well. They are rarely prepared for learning. Despite attempts to support the pupil e.g. with parent/carer communication or through other intervention, this attitude has not improved.
X	Unable to assess	Most likely due to significant absence
