KS3
All subject areas will have a clear understanding of what their students should know, understand and be able to do by the end of each Key Stage. In concrete terms, for every subject, with their major assessment tasks, they need to define what their final ‘butterfly’ looks like – what is the exemplar model every student is working towards.Students’ Key Stage 2 data (or, for some subjects, a baseline test) will be used to organise students into prior attainment groups: High Starters (HS), Middle Starters (MS) and Low Starters (LS). This information will be generated for Subject Leaders and it is never shared with students. This information will identify a student’s starting point, but will not anchor them in any one group, or limit the progress they are able to make. It is subject to change on an annual basis given how well they progress. From this, departments will be able to measure a student’s relative progress throughout the year.
KS4
The new GCSEs, which will begin teaching in September 2015, are intended to be more challenging. The changes to the grading system will help to provide more differentiation between the highest and lowest performing students, and the standard for a ‘good pass’ is slightly higher than before.
SIXTH FORM
A good Sixth Form should meet the following criteria: excellent learning and teaching, exciting extra-curricular activities and real support for every individual student. Results suggest, and our students tell us, that they are constantly challenged and encouraged to reach the highest possible standards in their work. We offer a huge range of extra-curricular activities including sport, theatre, music, community activities, support for younger students and charity work. We ask all our students to make a contribution to the school, local or international community and as a result they are looked on as leaders by younger students in school.

Huntington School recognises that many students will have special needs at some time during their school life. In implementing this policy, they believe students will be helped to overcome their difficulties. Whilst many factors contribute to the range of difficulties experienced by some children, we believe that much can be done to overcome them by parents, teachers and students working together.
