1 KS4 at Langtree School Home School Student
2 KS3 Curriculum Reformed Key stage 3 KS3 levels no longer statutory The KS3 curriculum was significantly revised in order to prepare our new year 0 students for the changes that have happened to KS4 The curriculum choice and options for students beginning the Key Stage 4 curriculum has been designed to comply fully with the new government guidance and regulations SBa
3 KS4 Curriculum Core Subjects English English Language GCSE and English Literature GCSE Mathematics can be entered at higher or foundation tier Science Trilogy Science - TWO GCSEs (exams all at the end of year ) Ethics - leads to RE GCSE and covers a great deal of the statutory content required Humanities - history and/or geography Core PE non-examined Option Subjects Up to 3 other subjects that students have chosen to study They have three lessons in each of these subjects every week English Baccalaureate (EBacc) was recommended but not compulsory SBa
4 Curriculum Change Summary Reforming Key Stage 4 (GCSE) Qualifications GCSE Mathematics provides greater coverage and is more challenging for those aiming to achieve top grades. There is a greater emphasis on problem solving and teaching about personal finance is now compulsory. GCSE English Language requires higher level reading skills and good, accurate written English, which will better prepare students for further study and work. GCSE English Literature encourages students to read, write and think critically; it assesses students on challenging and substantial whole texts and on shorter unseen texts. Students will no longer be provided with copies of the novels or plays in the exams. Most GCSE examinations are un-tiered. Controlled assessments have largely been removed from the assessment process. All GCSE examinations to recognise and reward accurate spelling, SBa punctuation and grammar.
5 Curriculum Change Reforming Key stage 4 (GCSE) Qualifications A new GCSE grading scale that uses the numbers to 9 to identify levels of performance (rather than A*-G), with 9 being the top grade (4 being roughly equal to the old C grade) All GCSE subjects are now using the new grading system. (travel and tourism, materials technology and CiDA) SBa 9

26 GCSE Science Each discipline will be divided equally between years 9, 0 and. There is no coursework (or controlled assessment) so the final qualification is based on examinations only. There will be a number of required practical activities for each course which will be assessed as part of the final examinations. MSm
27 Science at KS4 At Langtree, KS4 students are continuing with the AQA GCSE courses. Those who chose Separate Science as an option will study AQA Separate Sciences. Everyone else will study AQA Combined GCSE Science. Combined Science Triple Science SBa
28 Combined Science This consists of the main three science disciplines: Biology (33% of grade) Chemistry (33% of grade) Physics (33% of grade) Students will be awarded two GCSEs at the end of the course. Their science grade will be in the form 7-6 or 5-5 to show the two grades awarded.
29 Separate Science If students have chosen triple science as an option then they will be following AQA Separate Science courses. This will lead to three different GCSEs in each of the science disciplines. The grades in each science subject are totally independent of each other.
30 GCSE Science - Biology This subject consists of a number of topics including: Cell biology Organisation Infection and response Bioenergetics Homeostasis and response Inheritance, variation and evolution Ecology MSm

36 How to help your child through their GCSEs Home School Student
37 What can I do to help my child? Research has shown that pupil attainment is highly influenced by parent support The greatest improvement in grades comes from parent support at home Attendance If in Year 0 and a student has an attendance of 90% this will mean that they will have missed the equivalent of a half term of lessons during their GCSEs! Please check our school calendar before booking anything. SBa
38 What can I do to help my child? Equipment do they have everything they need for school Organisation a lot more is expected of pupils in KS4 and they may need help initially Make sure there is somewhere quiet they can study SBa
39 Where to work when at home? Ideally where they can be observed Needs to be at a table or desk Not where they can see a TV Music can help, but should not be distracting No access to games consoles Not too much time on the computer SBa
40 What can I do to help my child? Take an interest Communicate with teachers Keep your child focused on where they want to be at the end of Year Be there for them if they have worries or are finding the work difficult Keep them aware of these study tips: SBa
41 Study tips Don t work late at night Put away distractions especially mobile phones, laptops, X-boxes etc Healthy living works plenty of sleep, eat properly and drink plenty of water Use school staff for help and advice!plan homework and revision and manage time well don t start every task the day before it is due in Work in 30 minute chunks and then take a SHORT break to refresh the mind But - keep working on one task until it is complete swapping tasks confuses the brain! Revision works best when done little and often START EARLY! whether for tests or exams. SBa
42 Screen Time Take control of your child s screen time! ourpact.com allows you to Block child s Internet Block child s apps Schedule Internet and app use according to your child s daily routine Establish screen-free bedtime, dinnertime, study time and family time Block Internet and apps where they are inappropriate. SBa
43 How Parents can Help and Support Purchase copies of the required texts so that they may be annotated. Letters have been distributed to students. Support students to produce a revision plan aimed at addressing their weaker subjects/topics Support students to keep their books and notes neat and organised as they will be needed for revision at the end of Year. Encourage students to read as widely as possible to improve their vocabularies and be exposed to different types of written text.
44 Homework and Independent Study Use Show my Homework to monitor tasks being set. Test students on key concepts. Reward students for good study habits. If there is no set homework then get the students to complete independent study - focussing on weaker areas. KS4
45 Showmyhomework Showmyhomework can be used online or downloaded as an APP You, and your child can set up notifications and use the site to help organise work. You can also access the site through the School Website. SBa

52 Old Reports
53 Example KS4 Data Report
54 Example KS4 Tutor Comment Report
55 Example KS3 Learning Target Report
56 Reported Data We use a 4 point scale. There is a progress score, and 4 ATL (Attitude to Learning) judgements: Behaviour for Learning Classwork Homework Organisation Grade Progress ATL Above Target Going above and beyond 2 On target Consistently good 3 below Inconsistent 4 2 below or less Cause for concern
57 Reported Data
58 Target Setting What we know quite quickly... KS2 SATS Scores Date of Birth Gender Postcode Any specific needs FFT Targets (50,20,5) Primary school s view Langtree CATS D test results Subject baselines
59 Target Setting We use FFT 5 estimates to initially set pupil targets We check these broadly fit with our other indicators We tell you this target on a letter In years 7 to 9, we indicate a progress score on reports which is based on this target In year 0 we adjust targets based on our knowledge of the pupils. We report targets as well as progress scores during years 0 and.
60 Did you say FFT 5? Using FFT 5 to set our targets means that we are aiming to get results in line with the top 5% of schools in the country This means that our targets are aspirational, and a student who is not perfectly meeting their target may still be doing ok... and while indicators tend to be accurate when you look across a big group, they do get things wrong for individuals......but we still think it s right to aim for the very best results! Top 5%

62 Reported Data Progress 4 ATL It is unusual but possible to have a really good attitude to learning and a bad progress score... E.g. a bad, uncoordinated rounders player who works really hard in training and is very sportsmanlike Progress ATL 4 and it is unusual but possible to have a bad attitude to learning and a good progress score E.g. some professional footballers when they fake injuries, are rude to the referee and don t listen to their coaches advice
63 Post Reporting Intervention Pastoral Leaders are responsible for celebrating the success of students with excellent ATLs and for putting in place intervention plans for any student whose predicted grades and AtL scores are below expectations in more than three subject areas. Team Leaders are responsible for coordinating the actions for students whose predicted grade is below their target grade (who is not being intervened with by the pastoral team). The senior team will review the progress of cohorts, sub-groups, departments and key individuals and monitor the impact of any interventions implemented.
64 Milestones 2th December - Team Leaders Meeting Review of discussions with teams Discussion on new AtL aspects and descriptors 8th December - Whole Staff Development Introduction to new reporting systems - teams return to departments to discuss 6th January - Team Leaders Meeting Team Leaders report back on team discussions particularly about AtL Final sign-off of new reporting system 6th January - Curriculum & Standards Governors
