The information contained in this section of the website explains why High Storrs paces such importance on Attitude to Learning, and why A2L is at the centre of our reporting to parents. There are specific documents and videos relating to tracker and Attitude to Learning at KS3, 4 and 5.
It absolutely clear that students with great learning behaviours do well and it is crucial to further develop these behaviours and build good habits from the outset. We know when we see a student with a certain attitude to their learning, a student doing the right things week in and week out, that they will succeed.
The following document explains in more detail the reasoning behind attitude to learning.
Key Stage 3 (Y7 & Y8)
Key Stage 4 (Y9)
Key Stage 4 (Y10 & Y11)
To help students get as much as possible out of their Trackers we have made a ‘Group Chat’ that is shared with all Y10 and Y11 students in form time. We feel it is also useful for parents and carers to be familiar with the key slides. We hope this will help with the all important conversations about what is going well and what needs to improve further.
Please do get in touch with your child’s House or our KS4 Leader for Learning and progress, Mr Highnett, if you have any questions about the latest tracker.
Key Stage 5 (Y12 & Y13)
Attitude to Learning (A2L)
We believe students with great learning behaviours do well. In fact we know when we see a student with a certain attitude to their learning, a student doing the right things week in and week out, that they will succeed. This has fed into our new Attitude to Learning (A2L) grades.
There is a set for Y7 and Y8 students (‘Building Great Learning Habits’) that outline what great learning looks like in those key early years in school. A set for Y9-11 students (‘Learning Habit to Achieve’) that describe the behaviours that enable exam success, and a set for Sixth Formers (‘Learning Habits to Excel’) that will help Y12s make the transition to A Levels and Y13s achieve all they can at 18 and beyond.
