Target setting Reflections

• What is SBB?
• Choosing a course
• What are the choices available?
• How do I choose?

Subject-based Banding (SBB)

• Pupils do subjects

at the levels that best meet their abilities  study subjects they are strong in to the highest level possible

• No EM1, EM2 or EM3

classes.

• Subjects are offered at

Standard and Foundation levels

• NOT INTENDED to

provide a softer option.

What is SBB?

• At the end of P4,
• School makes recommendation for a subject

combination

• Pass mark – 50 marks
• Teachers’ recommendation
• Importance of EL & Maths
• Parents have the option to accept the

school’s recommendation or proceed with their own choice

Subject-based Banding (SBB)

Subject-based Banding (SBB)

Course Recommendation

Criteria Combination Pass 4 subjects + Band 1 MT 4S+HMT For strong to very strong pupils with strength in MTL Pass 3 or 4 subjects 4S The majority of the cohort Pass 2 subjects but failed MT poorly consistently 3S + FMT A very small minority: those consistently struggling with MT despite best effort Pass MT only MT + 3F Weak pupils with strength in 1 subject Fail all subjects 4F Weak Pupils

At the end of P5, school will decide

Implications

• Foundation  Lower scores
• ‘U’ grade implications:
• Std subjects: >20 marks
• Foundation subjects: >30 marks
• Impact on T-score
• Importance of being well prepared for secondary

school

• Foundation Subjects & Normal Academic /

Express streams

• Post-secondary education

Be assured …

• We will proceed in the best interest of every child
• We will review cases at the margins carefully and

ensure that we always give our pupils an appropriate combination of subjects

• We will work with parents to ensure you understand

the rationale of our recommendations

• But in the end, the choice this year lies with you –

the parents

Home Support Alignment

• Support – E.g. Reading all school letters and

Anthonian Updates & file for future reference)

• Positive Reinforcement E.g. Praise when your

child has done well.

• Concern E.g. Supervision on computer usage
• Working together E.g. Talk about what they

have learnt in school today or get your child to ‘teach’ you what they have learnt.
