The headteacher assesses all the children who are put in for the 11+ with regard to academic potential (expected VRTS) and attitude to work. The grades are:
academic potential
1= exceptionally highly recommended (predicted score 131-141)
2= highly recommended (121-130)
3= recommended with reservations (111-120)
4= not recommended for grammar school (101-110)
5= definitely not recommended (69-100)
attitude to work
1= self starter, independent worker, consistent, highly motivated
2= independent, hard working, reliable
3= output varies
4= lacks self organisation
5= works with support

So a 1.1 is the highest grade on both aspects.
Hope that helps

I've not heard of this being used before. Can anyone tell me if this is used in kent please?

Sorry should have made it clear that this is in the Bucks system. I don't know if it is used anywhere else.
