2 The Team Mrs Wheeler Deputy Headteachers Learning Manager Executive Headteacher Ms McGing and Ms Williams Pastoral Manager Ms Corbett Y9 & Ms Bromley Y10 Mr Wilkins Form Tutors X 6 Year 9 Form Tutors X 6 Y10

3 Changes to Assessments in Years 9 & 10 Radical changes to the structure and assessment of GCSEs. Moving away from the familiar system of A*-G grades to a new system of grading with numbers. Changes to the structure of the GCSEs, Raising the expectation of the standard of GCSE that will be considered as good pass from a C to a new grade 5.

4 GCSE changes..

5 What the new grades mean?

7 What is considered a good pass? To align the UK with the best education systems in the world the government has raised expectations of achievement and will now consider a good pass at GCSE to be a grade 5.

8 We are now judged on the following areas: Attainment 8 (Average of their best 8 Scores including Maths and English) Progress 8 (Progress over 8 subjects from KS2 performance) Ebacc (En, Ma, Sci (incl CS), MFL and Gg or Hist) % English/Maths combined (best of En Lit or Lang)

9 Progress Tracking Card Estimated Attainment 8 Score An average of 8 best grades/subjects Current Progress 8 Score Less than expected progress Looks at the best 8 subjects from KS2

10 What does good progress look like? Less than expected progress Expected progress Better than expected progress

11 What does it mean? Half a grade less than expected Half a grade better than expected Less than expected progress Expected progress Better than expected progress

12 Current Progress 8 & Attainment 8 Score = C Attainment 8 on average students obtain a grade C or better Expected progress Progress 8 - A 2/3rd of a grade better than expected Better than expected progress

13 Progress Tracking Card Estimated Attainment 8 Score An average of 8 best grades/subjects 0.50 Current Progress 8 Score Less than expected progress Looks at the best 8 subjects from KS2

14 GCSE English

15 GCSE English Language and English Literature What's all the fuss about? We still teach you how to improve your communication skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening. We will still read books, plays, poems, news articles, biographies and web pages. We will still write essays and narratives. We will still perform presentations in public speaking. Assessment is by examinations only; we no longer have a coursework option.

16 GCSE English Language Paper 1: Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing Paper 2: Writers' viewpoints and Perspectives Four questions based on an extract from a work of fiction Descriptive or narrative writing that expresses your imagination 1 hour 45mins 1 hour 45mins Four questions based on two nonfiction texts, one published in the 19th-century and the other in the 20th or 21st-century Argumentative or persuasive writing that expresses your point of view

17 GCSE English Literature Paper 1: Shakespeare play and a 19th-century novel 1 hour 45 mins Paper 2: Modern texts and poetry 2 hours 15 mins Both 'closed book' exams. You will need to remember, recall and apply your knowledge. Set texts for Literature (TBC with your child's English teacher) Shakespeare play: 'Macbeth 19th-century novel: 'The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr Hyde' or 'A Christmas Carol'. Modern texts: 'DNA' or 'An Inspector Calls'. Poetry: AQA anthology focusing on one of two collections called Love and Relationships and Power and Conflict.

18 What can you do at home Read widely around subjects that interest you. Watch a moving image or live version together of texts that you're studying for English Literature. Watch interesting quality documentaries with family members on topics that interest you. Write regularly, for different purposes, little and often.

19 GCSE Maths

20 GCSE Maths Course Content More demanding with additional content and greater assessment. Fundamentals of maths - calculation, ratio and proportion. Reasoning and problem solving. Uses the new grading system Grades 1-9 The tiering structure will remain the same - overlap between the tiers at grades 4 and 5.

21 Assessment Structure - Higher and Foundation Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 3 ⅓ of GCSE ⅓ of GCSE ⅓ of GCSE Non Calculator Calculator Calculator 1 hour 30 mins 1 hour 30 mins 1 hour 30 mins 80 marks 80 marks 80 marks A mixture of question styles, from short single mark questions, to multi step problems.

22 GCSE Maths - Course Content Broad Topic Areas Number Algebra Ratio, Proportion, Rates of Change Geometry and Measures Statistics Higher Tier Grades 4-9 Foundation Tier Grades 1-5

23 GCSE Maths - Course Content New on both tiers Venn Diagrams Values of Trig ratios Simple error intervals using inequalities Causation/ Correlation Growth and Decay problems New on Higher Expanding binomials Areas under graphs Arithmetic Progressions and Geometric Progressions Iteration Inverse and Composite Functions New on Foundation Standard form Factorising quadratics Simultaneous equations Trigonometry Compound interest Reverse Percentages Circle Properties Vectors Direct and inverse proportion

25 Beat Stress A family guide 1. Look out for stress Look out for signs of exam stress. Children who experience stress may be irritable, not sleep well, lose interest in food, worry a lot and appear depressed or negative. Headaches and stomach pains can also be stress related. 2. Ensure your child eats well A balanced diet is vital for you child s health, and can help them to feel well during exam periods. 3. Sleep helps exam performance Good sleep will improve thinking and concentration. Most teenagers need between eight and ten hour s sleep a night.

26 Beat Stress A family guide 4. Be flexible at exam time Family lives advises parents to be flexible around exam time. When your child is revising all day, don t worry about household jobs that are left undone or untidy bedrooms. Staying calm yourself can help. Remember, exams don t last forever. 5. Help them to study Help your child to revise by making sure they have somewhere comfortable to study. Help them draw up a revision schedule or ask the school for one. 6. Discuss their nerves Remind your child that feeling nervous is normal. Nervousness is a natural reaction to exams. 7. Encourage exercise Make sure your kids are active. Exercise can help boost energy levels, clear the mind and relieve stress. Walking, cycling, swimming, football and dancing are all effective.

27 Beat Stress A family guide 8. Don t add to the pressure Support group ChildLine says that many of the children who contact them feel that the greatest pressure at exam time comes from their family. Listen to them, give support and avoid criticism. Before they go in for a test or exam, be reassuring and positive. 9. Make time for treats When the exams are over, help to celebrate with a treat. These can be a real encouragement for the next time they have a test.

28 Revision Tips Don t leave all revision until the end and most certainly do not leave all of the difficult bits until the end. Don t use revision as an excuse for poor/incomplete homework. Don t revise and them immediately go to bed- this is a common cause of sleepless nights as your mind is whizzing with information. Finish at a reasonable time and relax for an hour. Don t work 24/7. You will become anxious, bored and at worst completely disaffected. Take days where you don t do any revision. Don t allow topics to get on top of you. If you keep going back to something and you really don t understand it, then ask a friend or your teacher- do not let your worries over one issue colour your attitude to an entire subject.

29 Summary A report home will include: New GCSE Grading 9 to 1 instead of A*- G An Progress 8 figure (is the progress made from the end of primary school to the end of secondary) An Attainment 8 figure (showing the achievement across 8 subjects including Maths and English) GCSE s more rigorous

30 Summary Keep in touch with school make an appointment Check and monitor homework Attend homework clubs 3-7pm everyday Check the website and social media for updates
