Weekly progress
Weekly progress is your child’s week as the class teacher recorded it: how they attended, whether homework came back, how they behaved, and how each subject went.
Not every school keeps one. If yours does not, the page stays empty and nothing is missing.
What a week shows
Section titled “What a week shows”Attendance and punctuality — the share of the week present, and whether they arrived on time.
Engagement and readiness — how readily they took part, and whether they turned up with what they needed. These two are often the earliest sign that something is going on at home.
Work habits — whether work gets finished.
Homework, day by day: a tick for complete, a cross for incomplete, a dash where the teacher did not record that day. A dash is not a failure; it means nothing was noted.
Behaviour, with any specific concerns listed beside it.
Progress by subject
Section titled “Progress by subject”Each subject carries a band:
| Band | Meaning |
|---|---|
| EE | Exceeding expectation |
| ME | Meeting expectation |
| AE | Approaching expectation |
| BE | Below expectation |
This is the same scale as the report card, so a weekly band and a termly grade mean the same thing.
Where the school is running a structured intervention, the subject also shows the target set for the week, the support given, your child’s response, and the next steps. Most weeks will not have these, and their absence is not a bad sign — it usually means the week was ordinary.
Reading it well
Section titled “Reading it well”One week is a week, not a verdict. Children have bad weeks. A pattern across three or four is worth a conversation; a single AE is not.
Look at the homework row first. It is the part you can do something about tonight.
Bring it to a parents’ meeting. A teacher who can see the same weeks you have read is a shorter conversation than one starting from scratch.
Signing
Section titled “Signing”There is nothing to sign here. Your signature goes on the class diary for the same week, and it prints on the progress sheet alongside the teacher’s comment.
If a week is missing
Section titled “If a week is missing”Sheets appear only once the teacher publishes that week. A week that is still being written is not hidden from you deliberately — it is simply not finished.
If weeks stop appearing mid-term, ask the class teacher rather than the office; it is their book.
