Exam Results & Performance Data

Examination Report 2018-2019

We believe that assessment is an essential part of teaching and learning. Through accurate assessment, we are able to assess what students have learnt, how they have learnt and what their strengths and areas for development are. By monitoring, tracking and evaluating progress, we ensure that our teaching enables students to learn to their maximum potential.

At Key Stage Three students within Inspire and Explore, Nurture, Thrive and SP Pathway are tracked according to PIVATS milestones.  At Key Stage Four, all students that are able to access accreditation are tracked according to their progress towards completion of their qualification, some students may be tracked according to Key Stage Three methods to support analysis of progress and attainment.

At Elms Bank each portrait of year 11 cohort varies. As such we endeavor to assign all students to qualification flight paths that are both challenging but achievable. As such SIP target outcomes drill down to each pathways attainment. In light of this we do not expect to statistically compare year on year, furthermore in light of the qualification frameworks changes this has also had impact upon the achievement of our students as subject leaders have had to seek out alternative qualifications.
