Reporting overview
The purpose of reporting in High School is to communicate your child’s progress in the academic learning programme. Parents receive
feedback on both their child's approach to learning and their holistic attainment for the current stage of the two year course. Initial feedback
focuses on three key UWCSEA Profile skills that we know support your child's learning; self-management, collaboration and communication.
These are collectively known as the Approaches to Learning. Later feedback will include a holistic report grade that indicates your child's
mastery of the knowledge, skills and understanding of the UWCSEA curriculum. The holistic grade is based on a 1- 7 scale and indicates
their overall mastery in each subject. Each year the report grade is supplemented with written comments by your child's teacher and mentor
identifying strengths and areas for further development and/or a parent teacher conference when progress can be discussed in person.
Levels
When assessing a student’s level, teachers consider the quality and frequency of the indicators, along with their level of independence.
Teachers will then assess the three skills—Self-management, Collaboration and Communication - using four levels:
The following scale provides attainment descriptors which are used for holistic assessment in the High School. Attainment
descriptors are statements that provide a broad indication of learning appropriate to attainment at a particular level,
describing the characteristics and context of learning expected at that level.
These are separate from Assessment criteria which provide students with information about the qualities, characteristics,
and aspects of an assessment task that will be used to measure their attainment of each of the learning outcomes.
Thus while assessment criteria may be used at a task level, attainment descriptors are not.

misconceptions. The learner shows some evidence of analysis, synthesis and/or evaluation.

3 understandings of the intended learning in straightforward ways, but there are significant
omissions, errors and/or misconceptions. The learner shows limited evidence of analysis,
synthesis and/or evaluation.
