Minimum target grades

• We use an external group called• Fischer Family Trust (FFT) to help us

identify individual target grades for each subject

• FFT is used by the vast majority of schools

Page 17: Brain Teasers 1.Johnny's Mother had three children. The first child was named April. The second child was named May. What was the third child’s name? 2.A

Minimum target grades

• We then adjust the estimates to be in line with the top 25% of similar schools in the country.

• We then increase the target grade by one. • Teachers are asked to review the targets

generated –they can be increased further by the teacher!

Target grade example

• In the top 25% of schools this student has a:• 90% chance of getting a C grade or higher• 64% chance of getting a B Grade or higher• 31% chance of getting an A grade or higher

• The Target Grade will be the one in the green box, where the chance of achieving this grade (or higher) is 31%.
