We use the following system to help explain student achievements;
A - AMAZING
B - BRILLIANT
C - COOL
D - DEVELOPING
E - EMERGING
Although this doesn't match the strict rating as explained in the reports, the language used is very positive and does give students a ‘simpler' term when parents are having a conversation with them about their achievements. Hopefully students will be getting many "Cool's" throughout their report.
