Reporting and profiling

At Kellands School, our reporting reflects the guidelines outlined in Building the Curriculum 5, ‘Recognising achievement, Reporting and Profiling’ and the National Improvement Framework.

We provide:

• A Reporting Calendar
Outlining by term all the opportunities available to parents to share in their child’s learning.

• Learning Profiles (profiling, recognising achievement, target setting, reporting to parents via online learning portfolio app, Learning Journals)

• Student Reports
A summary of a child’s progress issued twice a year - November (Interim) / June (Final)

• Parents Evenings
An opportunity to meet with your child's teacher to discuss progress. Parents evenings take place twice a year.

Our aim is to provide a range of visual, oral and written information along with dialogue, which helps parents to gain an overall view of their child’s learning and progress.

STUDENT PROFILING WITH Learning Journals

At Kellands School we use an online learning portfolio app called Learning Journals as part of our profiling and reporting approach, to help learners capture and share their learning.

Regular dialogue with children about their learning encourages our children to develop awareness of themselves as learners and supports them to recognise the skills for learning, life and work that they are developing.

Once the school’s administrator has added you to the Learning Journals software, you will automatically receive an email with a link to create a password and a pin number.

Learning Journals can be accessed via the website:

or via the app, 'Learning Journals For Parents', available at the Apple Store and Google Play on the links provided.

Once you are up and running please read and / or download the Parent Guide below to understand how the platform works:

STUDENT SUMMARY REPORTS

At Kellands School, our Student Reports complement the profiling on Learning Journals in reporting a child's progress to you, the parents or carers.

The Student Reports are issued twice a year - November (Interim) / June (Final) and the curricular areas reported on are Literacy, Numeracy & Health and Wellbeing. The report indicates the Curriculum for Excellence level the child is expected to be working at:

Please note that when pupils are going from the end of Early level (P1), to the beginning of First level (P2), or from the end of First level (P4), to the beginning of Second level (P5), the pupil's first report at the new level may not have them working at the "expected" level. That makes sense as the pupil is just at the beginning of a new level, so please do not be alarmed by this.

It is important to note that the Curriculum for Excellence works fluidly, and learning is not linear. Your child will develop at their own pace, but the report describes the child’s progress against the national level.

The report then provides an overview of the child’s engagement with our Kellands Values and their Personal, Social and Emotional development.

The report concludes with a teacher comment that describes how your child has settled into the new academic year (November report) or how they have developed throughout the academic year (June report). Teacher comments may also include information regarding personal qualities, academic progress or contributions to school life that your child has demonstrated.

At Kellands, we value the contribution that parents make to their child’s education and welcome any feedback that you would like to make based on your child’s learning throughout a year. This can form part of the dialogue you will have with your child’s teacher at Parent’s evening. If on receiving a Student Report, you have any immediate concerns or questions, then we whole-heartedly encourage you not to sit on these, and please contact the school office.

PARENTS EVENING

Parents Evening is an integral part of the school calendar and happens twice a year. The first is in the Autumn term and is designed to inform parents how their child is settling into their new class and also to allow parents/carers to meet their child’s teacher, if they haven’t already. The second is held in the third term and is an opportunity to catch up with the teacher about how their child is progressing. Parents Evenings alternate terms with Student Summary Reports i.e. Term 1 (Parents Evening), Term 2 (Student Summary Report), Term 3 (Parents Evening) and Term 4 (Student Summary Report).
