Year 7 Baseline Tracker Explained

The Year 7 Baseline Tracker provides the following key information to parents and students:

Subject: The subject areas your child is studying at KS3.

End of Year 11 Projected Performance Band:  An indication of final GCSE grade range outcomes for your child, in each subject, should they continue to study them into KS4.  

Year 7 Baseline fine grade: he starting grade for each subject, from which all progress will be measured across the coming years.

Attendance to date: The % of AM & PM sessions attended to date*.

* please be aware of the government guidelines regarding attendance coding of attendance related to COVID.

Students marked absent due to Covid-19 symptoms and/or positive LFT tests should be marked as ‘X’ and therefore are not penalised on their school attendance. However, students returning a positive PCR test result will be coded as ‘I’ (ill) and therefore ‘absent’ for that period of isolation/recovery. 

For a more in depth understanding about how the information on your child's tracker is determined you can watch this supporting video. Additionally, you can review this detailed BHCS Progress Model: Parent & Student Guide.

In February you will receive your child's first Progress Tracker, this will show your child's progress in each subject, measured against the Year 7 baseline fine grade and give an indication if they are still on track to remain within their end of year 11 performance band. Additionally, the Progress Tracker will give you feedback on your child's attitude to learning.
