What are the important conditions to enable a student to achieve their Challenge Grade?
This means that the student:
• Attends school
• Works hard in class and asks questions to gain understanding
• Completes their work to a high standard
• Responds to feedback, both written and oral, so
that they can achieve their personal bests
• Is organised and conscientious
• Puts in strong effort levels at all times
• Completes prep work to the best of their ability
• Engages in independent learning
• Recognises that reviewing their work regularly is crucial for success
• Seeks help and support when difficulties arise
• Healthy, well–fed and well–rested
• Is happy and settled
• Performs consistently on the day
of the examination itself
• Is well taught and thoroughly prepared for their examinations
“We are proud to offer an inclusive environment where each individual is known and valued; is given attention and respect. Challenge Grades are, essentially, a measure of potential. It’s what we think a child can achieve if they work hard. Challenge Grades are ambitious but realistic.”
