Dear Parents/Carers

Year 11 - Assessment and Reporting Calendar 2015-16

I hope that your child has settled well into Year 11 and is enjoying life at Mark Hall Academy. I am writing to inform you about the assessment and reporting calendar for your child for this academic year. This outlines the times when your child is being assessed; when the Year 11 Parents’ Evening is and also when their year 11 report will be published.

Year 11

Assessment: tracking 1 / 13th November 2015
Assessment: tracking 2 / 18th December 2015
Assessment: tracking 3 / 4th March 2016
Assessment: tracking 4 / 29th April 2016
Assessment: tracking 5 / 27th May 2016

Year 11 Written report 29th April

Parents Evening 7th January

You will receive assessment information following each, half-termly, assessment tracking giving you a clear picture of how your child is progressing in each of their subjects. The written report will have a commentary about their progress from each of their subject teachers.

Please can I also draw your attention to the ‘Flight Path’ stickers which you will find on the front cover of each of your child’s subject books. These show the two targets that have been set for each subject according to their end of Key Stage 2 level. One shows a target for expected progress and the other for exceptional progress. These flight paths are also used to track your child’s progress towards achieving their target throughout the academic year.

This is a full and demanding year for your child as they begin their final year at Mark Hall Academy and we would ask you to continue to support and guide them, ensuring that they aim for 100% attendance and endeavour to do their best in everything that they do.

I hope you find this information useful. It will also be displayed on the academy website at: www.mha.attrust.org.uk

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s Home Group Tutor or Phase Leader in the first instance. You can also contact me on 01279 866280.

Yours sincerely

Allan Osborne

Associate Principal
