Life After Levels

Based on national research and good practice in other academies and schools, we have a ‘Pathway’ system in Year 7 and 8 which will be used for reporting home via Module grades and Written reports.

We are utilising the terminology carried through from primary school of WTS/EXS/GDS.

Teachers will engage with the system in lessons, so pupils will know how they can make progress effectively. Parents will receive ‘Pathway’ information twice a year for subjects followed in Year 7 and 8 alongside Attitude to Learning grades.

Year 7 and 8 expected level

KS2	KS3	KS4
WTS	WTS	1-2
EXS	EXS(F)	3-4
	EXS(E)	5-6
GDS	GDS	7-9

WTS: Working towards standard
