We’ve been analysing and discussing our DD3 (data drop) grades and, whilst I’m pleased with Crew’s progress, there have been a few slight drops in grades which unfortunately will see us slipping down the HOWLs league table.
Having said that, I’d just like to take a moment to celebrate Bryn’s progress. It’s fair to say that he didn’t display the best learning behaviours at the beginning of the year, and this was reflected in DD2’s habits of work and learning grades.
This was discussed during his last SLC and, since then, we’ve been having regular check-ins to make sure he has been working hard, getting smart and being kind in all lessons.
Just take a look at the difference between DD2 and DD3 (in bold):
| HUMS | STEAM | MATHS | |||||||
| Work Hard | Get Smart | Be Kind | Work Hard | Get Smart | Be Kind | Work Hard | Get Smart | Be Kind | |
| DD2 | 2.8 | 2.5 | 3.0 | 3.0 | 2.9 | 3.5 | 2.3 | 1.8 | 2.5 |
| DD3 | 3.2 | 3.3 | 3.2 | 3.2 | 3.3 | 3.0 | 3.0 | 3.0 | 3.0 |
I’m sure you’ll agree that Bryn’s improvement in his HOWLs are outstanding. Jaw dropping, in fact!
He knows that he still has to put more effort in towards working hard and getting smart, particularly in relation to extended study and he discussed this during his SLC.
Crew would like to say a massive “Well Done” to Bryn for responding to feedback after his last SLC and DD2, getting his head down and working exceptionally hard. His class members tell me that he has been showing perseverance and resilience in all classes, particularly in Maths. I’d also like to thank his teaching staff, especially Mr Ryder, for always pushing him, supporting him and making Bryn realise his own potential.
Keep it up, Bryn. You’re absolutely flying into Year 9!
But don’t forget to do your homework 😉
