Welcome to the reporting page, here we want to provide further clarity for parents, carers and students about the report attainment grade coming home

---

The attainment grade entered by subject teachers will be based on the quality of work currently produced by your child in class, at home and for assessments. This grade can fluctuate across a year based on the current level of the work they are producing, supported by their behaviour for learning. Please note: that there is no limit on a student’s potential and every student has the ability to improve.

---

To help understand behaviour for learning grades please see below.

Students in Year 7, 8 and 9 have a subject specific criteria to seek to meet by the end of the year. For each subject, in each year the subject specific criteria can be located to inform you on your son or daughters progress. This information can be accessed below.
