The first Year 7 Data Drop closed on the 11th October 2016.
Roding Valley High School will report home to parents from this data drop, which will supply the parent(s) with their son/daughter's ATL grades in every subject area, which will be sent the week commencing 17th October 2016 (Attitude, Organisation and Home Learning).
Parents will receive a breakdown of the tests that the students completed on the Practice Days in July 2016 - which were our baseline tests.
These tests included a Maths, English and Reading test.
