Monitoring Progress
When your child joins The Warwick, we will consider primary school reports, Key Stage 2 results and our own screening test results to set appropriate expectancies for your child(ren). We believe it is important to review children’s progress continuously and to provide regular feedback for you and your child. In this way we can work together to ensure that students are being challenged and encouraged to achieve their best, as well as developing personally and socially.
When we report on your child’s progress throughout the year you will also be given the teacher’s judgement on student’s Attitude to Learning. A full explanation of what these judgements mean can be found here.
In addition to feeding back homework and class work regularly, we hold formal examinations in the Summer term each year and students improve their revision and examination techniques through tests and assessments throughout the year. The teaching staff meet to review students’ progress formally each term. Students agree targets for the term with their form Tutor. You will be kept informed as follows:
Year 7

Additionally you are notified of your child’s teaching sets in individual subjects and of any changes to these. Teaching sets are kept under review and can be changed at any time during the year.
We ask you to sign your child’s Record Book each week and to monitor exercise books and homework as appropriate. If you become concerned about your child’s progress, we encourage you to contact the School Office to make an appointment with the Head of Year.
