  19. at which the student is currently performing.
  20. At the time of that assessment, we're also ensuring that
  21. they are comparable to previous years so that no student
  22. is at a disadvantage, depending on which year they took
  23. the examinations in.

  50. and progress towards the's on that, we have really emphasis
  51. on attitude to learning and student engagement.
  52. What we would ask is that all subjects provides specific
  53. targets for improvement so that students really know what they
  54. need to do to reach their next steps.
  55. However, it's very important that we do not share professional
  56. predictions. These will be used for internal intervention purposes only.
  57. If you do face any questions on this, there's some
  58. further guidance in the staff documentation.
  59. Now, speaking of tricky questions, let's have a look at
  60. a quick example.

  62. a typical response?
  63. Could be We're awaiting guidance from the government about the
  64. way in which grades will be awarded this year.
  65. But it's likely, though there will be both an internal
  66. and external element at this stage.
  67. We cannot comment further on what the elements will include,
  68. so the focus for now should be on continuing to
  69. work hard in ALS subjects.
  70. The school will be in touch as soon as we

  78. begin your meetings by welcoming both the students and their
  79. parents on then off the student opportunity to comment on
  80. how they are finding the course on toe.
  81. Ask for anything that they need.

  83. that is included in the report on to set some
  84. specific targets for improvement at the end of the meeting,
  85. allowing opportunity to ask any questions that parents or students
  86. might have on then conclude your meeting.
