Did you know the Attitude to Learning criteria had changed? (Yes/No counted in form groups)
Not all forms had done this but the ones that had- the majority of Year 11 knew that it had changed.
Aware of A2L : They know the descriptions. Think it makes people try harder. Disappointing is an easy word to understand.
Overall, learners do not know and the new criteria are unclear
Approximately two-thirds of Year 8’s knew the Attitude to Learning criteria had been changed.

3. Is the new A2L criteria being referred to within lessons, If so, can you share examples?
Depends on teacher
“Exceptional” is being used verbally but not so much the other terms
Some staff are sharing it in the run up to Parent’s Evening – Science, English, French
Some English, Music and Maths teachers have done. Communicated with learners about what they have to do to get the grades and also inform them what they are working at in terms of A2L.
