Pupils are set targets for progress and attainment every year based on their intial baseline, previous early years achievement and or end of key stage one attainment Every year, these targets are reviewed for each child to ensure good/outstanding attainment and progress.
At Green Gates Academy every child is given an individual target in Maths, Writing and Reading to work towards each academic year. Every term these targets are reviewed to see what progress each child is making. When a child is below target (red) specific interventions are put in place in order to help the child meet their overall target at the end of the year.
