REPORTING By the end of P7 most pupils will have completed the Curriculum for Excellence Level 2 Experiences and Outcomes. During S1-S3 most will be working on the Level 3 Experiences and Outcomes with many moving on to Level 4 in S2-S3. Pupil’s will move through the Experiences and Outcomes at their own pace. From 25/26 session, all Angus schools are now using the BGE achievement within a level codes and descriptors as shown in the table above. More information on the levels and descriptors can be found in the document below. ASSESSMENT There are four main ways in which pupils will be assessed during the Junior Phase: ➢ WRITE – where a pupil may have some written evidence e.g. end of unit assessment ➢ MAKE – where a pupil may have created a model or a poster ➢ SAY – where a pupil may have presented to the class or classmates ➢ DO – where pupils may act out a scenario or conduct a class vote Assessment is crucial to our tracking progress, planning next steps in learning, reporting and involving parents and learners in learning. Evidence of progress can be gathered by learners themselves, and by fellow pupils, parents, teachers and other professionals. A number of approaches are employed including (but not limited to) the following Self-assessment – learners are encouraged and supported to look at and revisit their own work, to develop a better understanding of what they have learned, and what they need to work on Peer assessment – learners are encouraged and supported to work together to help others assess what is good about their work and what needs to be worked on Personal learning planning – children, teachers and parents work together to develop planning for next steps in learning. Your child’s progress is not only based on ‘tests’ but on the learning that takes place within the classroom and in different settings both within and out with the classroom. Evidence of children and young people’s progress and achievements will come from day-to-day learning and through the things they may write, say, make or do. For example, evidence may emerge as a result of children and young people taking part in a presentation, discussion, performance, or practical investigation. From 25/26 session, all Angus schools are now using the BGE achievement within a level codes and descriptors as shown in the table above. More information on the levels and descriptors can be found in the document below.

Wider Achievement As our young people progress through Monifieth High School we aim to equip them with skills and experiences that will allow them to succeed in their post-school life, whatever career they choose to enter. This requires the development of skills such as creativity, innovation, collaboration, adaptability, leadership, persuasion and emotional intelligence. From S1 to S6, we offer a range of wider achievement opportunities which help pupils to build these skills and demonstrate to employers, further and higher education establishments that they are ready to take on the challenges that are ahead of them. Collectively our wider achievement opportunities form the Monifieth High School Leadership Academy. We encourage our young people to take every opportunity that our Leadership Academy offers and we look forward to watching them grow as individuals along the way. The MHS Leadership Academy provides pupils with the opportunity to be involved in the life of the school and develop their leadership skills as they journey through the school from S1 - S6. The purpose of the Leadership Academy is: to develop formal leadership opportunities for S1 - S6 pupils. to develop leadership skills essential for life in work, training or further education. to ensure our young peoples' skills are recognised and their qualification portfolio is developed. Monifieth High School Leadership Academy We know how to get qualifications but how do we get employability skills? How do we build on the leadership skills we developed in primary school?

SUPPORTING PUPILS AND FAMILIES Monifieth High School is committed to supporting its young people and their families in a variety of ways. We have several staff members who work together to achieve this including Olive Wainwright PT ASN, Laura Anderson PT Heart, our Family Learning Champion Gemma Chapman, Resource Worker Claire Morrison and Lisa Herbert, PT Pupil Care and Support. Please see the link below to Connecting Parents Angus which includes a wide array of links to websites and information on how to refer into services which support wellbeing and offer financial information and advice. This includes partners we work with in the school such as Penumbra, Hillcrest Futures, Place2be, Young Carers, Maximise Angus and Social Security Scotland. These partners attend many of our school events and can provide free, confidential and impartial advice. We will advise of their attendance prior to any event and offer an opportunity to secure an appointment if required. This site also contains information on how to apply for Free School Meals, Clothing Grants and Educational Maintenance Allowance.

These experiences are so important to a young person’s development and are central to their sense of belonging in the school community. Our Opportunity Fund is funding that can be accessed on request. Each extra-curricular activity or event will be advertised through the usual channels but will have a Glow form attached via a link or QR code which will allow a parent/carer to request financial support for their young person to attend. If you would like your young person to attend an activity or event but have been unable to request funding, please contact Lisa Herbert on l.herbert@angusschools.org.uk .

Breakfast Bars are also available in the Library, Learning Zone, Guidance Base and in Claire Morrison’s office. These provisions are OPEN TO ALL and pupils can either ‘grab and go’ or ‘stay and socialise’. Targeted Support Group At Monifieth High our goal is to ensure equity and inclusion is at the core of everything we do, and we are committed to working with parents and carers to ensure all our young people thrive. As such, we monitor and track all pupils, offering more targeted support to young people who may require this. We offer targeted support to pupils who are care-experienced, young carers, in receipt of free school meals, live in SIMD 1 or 2, are supported by social work or have experienced a traumatic event such as bereavement. This ensures that these young people's progress is monitored closely in each of their subject areas and - if support is required - it is made available to them as a priority to ensure they meet their potential academically and their health and wellbeing is supported. This is coordinated by Nichola Randles (English Teacher) who works alongside the guidance team. If you feel your child meets the criteria to be included in this group and you have not yet been contacted, please contact their Pupil Care and Support Teacher. Supporting Attendance We are aware that many of our young people are coping with a range of challenges in their lives - as are families - which are impacting upon a young person's ability to attend school. As such we are working with a variety of partners, including Educational Psychology, to ensure our pupils are supported to achieve their best. Attendance is monitored throughout each academic session and contact will be made with home at key points in the year to highlight any concerns. Our Pupil Care and Support team and Additional Support Needs team work closely with families and young people who may be experiencing barriers to attendance to provide, or signpost to, the appropriate support. If you would like any further information about the support available, please contact your young person's Pupil Care and Support teacher in the first instance. In the event of absence please ensure the office is contacted on 01382 768100. Don’t miss out on Child Benefit Resource Pack
