Each student will arrive in Year 10 with an expected end of GCSE grade for each subject. We are looking at a 2 year GSCE journey Hence there will be a drop in their current grade in Y10 – but this should increase over the 2 years The end of year 10 will tell you if they are still on track to achieve their End of GCSE grade

How can attendance affect progress? Look at Progress 8 score & average GCSE grades

Anything above 0 is positive and 0.5 very good progress which is over half a grade on average better than targets across all subjects

0-0.5 Good +0.5 and above outstanding

Anything below 0 is negative and below -0.5 is very concerning and shows target grades not achieved in many subjects

  • 0 and below

We want our students to take their learning beyond the classroom, take ownership and become more independent. We hope to do this by:

  • Templates and Sharing: Setting quality tasks set via a

department template on G4S.

  • WL1-4: Providing a smooth and easy consequence system

which allows students the opportunity to change behaviours and overcome barriers.

  • KOs: Using knowledge organisers effectively to support the

curriculum.

Templates:

‘The why before the what’ – S. Sinek

Science Template #1 – Exploring Science in the real world:

Purpose: This Wider learning is to help stretch/challenge you and get you to think about new topics in an unfamiliar setting. Task: ‘Take a paper clip and try to rust it as much as possible before next lesson.’ This will be presented as… ‘Bringing the paper clip to the lesson and writing a sentence in your book about what you did to the paper clip and the reason you did it.’

What does the Science curriculum provide?

  • Curiosity and Enjoyment.
  • An appreciation and

explanation of the world we live in.

  • Independent study skills.
  • Different Pathways.

2 Different routes:

  • Combined sciences (triology):

Students will study all three disciplines across the two

  • years. This will culminate in 6 exams (2 in each

discipline) and students can end year 11 with 2 science GCSEs.

  • Separate Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics):

Students will have separate lessons and teachers for each discipline covering slightly more material in more depth than those in combined. This will culminate in 6 exams (2 in each discipline) and students can end year 11 with 3 GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

The Big Difference This Year:

We are making decisions about exam route towards the end of year 10. All students in sets 1-3 will be taught ‘separate science’ content. The teaching of the science is more important than exam route!
