Rank Order Assessment Deborah Hawkins Associate Vice Principal Curriculum & Assessment

Rank Order Assessment § Students sit exams in all subjects. PA, art and PE will come to a mark based on practical assessment combined with an exam. § Students are ranked in individual subjects. § Students’ results are averaged out to provide an overall ranking, with English and maths triple-weighted and science double-weighted. § Students are set according to the overall ranking – they are in the same set for all subjects, apart from PE which sets separately. 52

Progress and target-setting § Key Stage 2 English rank within cohort vs most recent English rank. § Key Stage 2 mathematics rank within cohort vs most recent mathematics rank. § Key Stage 2 average rank within cohort vs most recent subject ranks. 53

Current set and new set Previous overall rank and new overall rank KS 2 ranks Reading age Individual subject % results and rankings 54

Timelines for all full ROA 3 weeks before ROA period Students receive timetables and revision packs 3 weeks leading up to ROA period Classwork and homework based around ROA prep 3 weeks leading up to ROA period Tutor sessions on revision, preparation and exam technique. Core subjects run revision classes. HOY run revision spaces and drop-in advice sessions after school ROA period Students sit exams. Core subjects in Hall wherever possible 3 weeks after ROA period ends Students get results Parents’ Evening the day after results Set changes take place HOY/GS Lead meetings and phone calls 55
