We have set out below the attributes of highly motivated and engaged learners which lead to positive progress. As well as receiving reports on progress throughout the year, students are awarded an ATL score; an average score of 2 or above is essential to good progress and we encourage all our students to aspire to achieving a ‘1’ in every lesson.
