Your child’s report shows their predicted grade, which is what his/her teacher predicts he/she will achieve in their final GCSEs in Year 11, if they continue to make progress as they are.

The Progress rating tells you whether he/she is on track to achieve their Minimum Expected Grade (MEG).

• Red – currently not on track to achieve the Minimum Expected Grade
• Amber – currently on track to achieve the Minimum Expected Grade
• Green – currently on track to exceed the Minimum Expected Grade.

The Minimum Expected Grade (MEG) is based on the average performance of students with a similar level or score in year 6 SATs, nationally.  The MEG is what a student would be expected to achieve, if they make average progress, based on their starting point.  Our ambition is that all our students aim for this national average level, as a minimum.  A chart showing how students are expected to make progress towards their MEG is attached.

If a student’s progress is Red for a subject, it means they will have advice from their teacher about what they need to do to improve.
