At Grange we share your child’s learning progress in a variety of formal and informal ways throughout the school session. Here is a calendar of events and activities that will help you understand what this looks like:

September – Meet the Teacher

An opportunity for your child to show you around their classroom and meet their class teacher(s)

October – Settling in / Parent Meetings

Parent survey feedback requested more formal parents evenings without your child to discuss progress. Children will have completed their Learner Led Conference Sheet and this will be shared in advance of your meeting and should be used to discuss learning and progress at home.

November – Progress Update 1

This is when we share the first tracking attainment of the session and this is accessed through Pupil Tracker. Parents create an account using a Pupil ID and unique code when your child joins the school. An email is sent out to inform you when the report / update is available to view. This is used across primary and secondary schools in Angus.

Each learner will be assessed against the level they are currently working within and this will be shown by the first letter / number.

2 – second level (mostly P5-7)

1 – first level (mostly P2-4)

E – Early level (Nursery & P1)

P – Personal Milestones (children working on their own personal learning journey)

This is followed by a number to describe how well they are coping with the learning at the stage they are working at.

5 – Exceeding expectations

4 – Meeting expectations

3 – Mostly meeting expectations

2 – Approaching expectations

1 – Not yet meeting expectations

0 – Not assessed

In our progress updates, levels will be given for Reading, Writing, Listening and Talking and Numeracy.

November – Sharing Our Learning Event 2-3pm

This is an informal chance to once again visit your child’s class and see what they have been learning. This event takes place in the evening to allow working parents to attend at least one of them in the school year.

March – Parents Evenings 

This is a second opportunity to discuss your child’s progress, attitude to learning. Children will have completed their Learner Led Conference Sheet and this will be shared in advance of your meeting and should be used to discuss learning and progress at home.

February – Progress Update 2

An email is sent out to inform you when the report / update is available to view using the same codes as in Progress Update 1.

March – Sharing Our Learning Event 5-6pm

This is an informal chance to once again visit your child’s class and see what they have been learning. With November’s being held in during the school day, this March  event take place at the end of the school day to allow working parents to attend at least one of them in the school year.

June – End of Year Report

An email will be sent to let you know that your child’s end of year report can be viewed in Pupil Tracking. We report using our Learner Qualities as the themes for learning and within each LQ report on skills for life , learning and work. Tracking codes are given for each curricular area.

In addition to the above, we use portfolios as learning journals where children upload the following 3 x in the school year:

1 x piece of literacy

1 x piece of numeracy

1 x piece of topic / IDL

1 x SHINE moment (achievements in or out of school)

This is to document their progress across the years at Grange and something we encourage parents to comment on.
