All comments will begin with the examinations sat for the mock and include details of any resit needed. Eg: All students sat a full AQA Lit B Paper 1 (Aspects of Tragedy) and 2/3 of Paper 2 (Elements of Crime. The final third of this paper is y13 content and will be examined in our November mock series. Bob performed impressively in the crime extract

a result, he will resit paper 1 w/b 14th September and must work towards this over the summer. Target Grade Minimum expected grade – the minimum expectation of student outcome in each subject based on GCSE APS. Secure Prediction (End of y13) A highly realistic measure of what the student is likely to achieve in your subject at the end of y13. This is usually not higher or lower than the mock grade. If so, there will be a very specific reason about why in the exam comment section. UCAS Stretch Prediction (End of y13) A realistically aspirational prediction of student outcome if working to full potential. Usually one grade higher than the

  • secure. However, it can be the same if the student was nearer the end of a grade boundary.

We send these predictions to UCAS. It is imperative that they are achievable as student first choice offers will be made based on these. On track to achieve target Above, At, Below based on column 2 (minimum) Attitude to Lessons selection from Exemplary – Unacceptable.

Postcolonial and Global Literatures Society We have a NEW and exciting society for KS4, 5 and teachers! It is a safe space where we discuss and open conversation about BAME writers/poets/directors and their work. We talk about how their contributions have illuminated race, gender and even pop-culture! It is a place where older pupils and teachers of all ages, backgrounds and genders have come together to celebrate BAME excellence. Our goal is to give BAME pupils, powerful representation in literature and media. It is every Monday at 3.20pm.

Week 1: We look at The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas and Did you know that Tupac was a poet?! Week 2: We discussed Ta- Nehisi and his book on inheriting fear as a black man

Week 3: We explored Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem, Naked and how it embodied the truth

  • f black identity and

creativity in the face

We usually raise money at sports day via an array of fantastic stalls, but we are obviously unable to do so this year. However, we are not going to let lockdown get in the way of our plans, so we are going to raise funds virtually and have chosen the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust to support. The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust was founded on the premise that inequality must be tackled in all its forms. This includes inequality of access, and of opportunity, wherever it occurs. The Trust is dedicated to transforming the life chances of young people and improving the world in which they live to enable them to develop and nurture their talent. You can donate via the website.
