The most recent information on your child’s effort and currently working at flightpaths in each of their subjects is now available on the March interim report. We hope you will access this through our My Ed app and a reminder on how you download the app and the main features follows later in this letter.
Each child has a target flightpath that depends upon their own starting point (using their KS2 SATS score). The aim is to stay on or get to a higher flightpath and show that your child is meeting or doing better than their potential.
The five flightpaths are as follows:
| E | Extended | Increasingly challenging |
| M | Mastered | |
| S | Secure | |
| A | Approaching | |
| D | Developing |
Throughout the year you will get updates as to where your child is in relation to their target flightpath. We use “+” and “-“ signs to give you a better idea of how secure they are on the flightpath.
As we look forward to welcoming our Year 8 students back to school following their time working at home, now is a good time to reflect on the levels of effort being reported by teachers along with how well they are doing on their flightpaths. In subjects where students are below their target flightpath a discussion will be needed about what they can do to improve. In subjects where your child is on or above their flightpath, congratulations are in order.
Year 8 is the most important year to date in your child’s school career and it is vital that we work together to ensure the most positive and successful experience. The My Ed app will show you information about attendance, achievements and behaviour alongside the most recent reports on progress and effort. We hope you find the app useful and that it sparks conversation at home and productive discussion around next steps. It works best when parents check the app regularly. Information on how to download the app is available here (https://www.clcc.college/my-ed-app).
Finally, I would urge you to keep your child’s reports and discuss them at home. Comparing how well your child has progressed from the last report can be particularly effective in bringing about improvement.
