High Levels of Achievement. All students have Target Minimum Grades to which they should endeavour to meet and surpass; TMGs should be viewed as a lever, not a lid. We use a fine grading system that indicates how secure you are within a particular grade. ‘Next Steps Advice Cards’ which outline key targets will be provided to students who are two grades below their TMG in any subject. You will need to show evidence of acting upon this advice. Students who are given a card are expected to spend at least one study period a day (if not a day fully timetabled with lessons) in the Study Area addressing their next steps until the next reporting session. Students who fail to show evidence of acting upon their next steps by the next reporting session will also spend 1 hour after school every week working to rectify their underachievement.
