Year 7-10 Reports

Year 7-10 Semester 2 reports will be issued via the Compass platform on Wednesday, 18th December, from 2.00pm. These reports will reflect your child’s learning across the second half of the academic year and will consist of the following aspects:

1. Common grade in each subject studied using the A-E Common Grade Scale
2. Descriptors explaining your child’s Knowledge, Skills and Understandings in each subject as well as their Commitment to Learning descriptors, which are a reflection of their attitude to the learning environment. These descriptors are a fantastic reflection tool and acknowledge the relative strengths and areas for growth in your son or daughter's learning progression.
3. Pastoral Care comment, which is a reflection of your child’s engagement in PC and aspects of college life throughout the year.

Parents will have an opportunity to discuss their child’s report with teachers on Thursday, 19th December, from 8.30am until 11.00am. If you wish to arrange a meeting with a teacher, please contact the front office to arrange a time.
