The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) states that students in Year One-Six receive grades ranging from A-E. Kindergarten receive a three point scale of- Thorough, sound and basic.
The A to E grade scale summarises the standard (or quality) of achievement associated with each grade. The scale describes:
- the depth of knowledge and understanding and
- the range of skills that students working at that standard typically show.
Grades are given for individual achievement. Students will get the grade that best matches the standard of their achievement. Teachers should consider all evidence gathered and should not be limited to a set number of children allocated to each grade within their class or school.
Grades are one aspect of school reporting to parents. Other important tools include:
- teacher comments
- parent-teacher conversations and
- information about student effort and application.
