Excellent

Your child:

·       Is self-motivated to succeed and shows a determination to get better, by seeking out and responding to feedback.

·       Takes great pride in their work

·       Shows high levels of perseverance even with challenging tasks

·       Shows a genuine interest in the task by actively participating in all tasks, thinking hard about questions and asking inquisitive questions themselves without prompting.

All homework completed with care, attention to detail. Some evidence of going beyond the task set so as to widen & deepen their  learning.

2

Good

Your child:

·       Has a positive attitude to learning shown by their consistent completion of classwork.

·       Responds to feedback given to them so as to improve their work.

·       Generally perseveres with their work even with challenging tasks.

·       Takes part in class discussion and questions when prompted to do so.

Homework is completed on time. Occasionally more time and care is needed to improve the quality of the work, but in general homework meets the expected standard.

3

Room for improvement

Your child:

·       Completes classwork but at times the quality and/or quantity does not meet expectations.

·       Sometimes fails to take pride or care in the work they produce.

·       Responses to questions may often lack detail and clarity

·       Often makes little effort with or avoids challenging tasks.

Homework is inconsistent (either not handed in on time or often appears rushed/incomplete). More time and pride needs to be taken on their homework.

4

Poor

Your child:

·       Regularly fails to put in the necessary effort in lessons despite support from their teacher.

·       Regularly produces work which is limited in quality and/or quantity, and shows little pride in its presentation.

·       Is regularly involved in behaviour during lessons that disrupts the learning of others and/or themselves

·       Is making progress significantly below what is expected of them due to the above concerns.

Homework is often not completed.  If/when homework is handed in the quality is not to the expected standard (incomplete, poor quality or rushed). This is creating gaps in their learning.
