Always make sure that you are in the appropriate classroom no later than the times shown overleaf. If you arrive at school between and or between and please report to your form tutor. You will be marked late in the register. If you feel unwell or have an accident you must tell a teacher straight away. Normally you will be sent to the School Office where a trained First Aider will take care of you. If you are too ill to remain at school or if hospital treatment is necessary then your parents will be contacted to make suitable arrangements. Under no circumstances should you leave the school or go home without permission. If you arrive at school after or then you must report to the Head of School. You will be marked late in the register and will need a note explaining the reason for late arrival. Medicines If you need to take medicine at school you should bring a letter from your parents stating when you need to take it. Your medicine must be left with the school office. The only exception is if you have an inhaler for asthma. Attendance The proper place for you to be on a school day is at school. If you are not in school then you must have a justifiable reason and your parents should telephone the school office before on the first day of absence. If you are going to be away from school for more than 3 days then your parents must send a written note to the school office on the third day of absence to tell us what is wrong. You should always bring a note from your parents when you return to school after being off sick. Parents are requested not to arrange family holidays during term time. Where this is unavoidable requests for leave of absence should be made in writing well in advance of the date. Please do not ask for aspirin or other tablets at school; we are not allowed to give you any medicines. Signing Out It is best to make medical appointments outside school hours. If you must leave school during the day for any reason then please bring a note from your parents in advance of the date. You must sign-out at the school office and will receive an exit slip. If you return to school later on the same day then you must sign-in again. A copy of the exit-slip will be kept on your school record file. 8 Design Right and Copyright 199, 2013 Penstripe 9 These are example pages and offer suggestions on how you might want to layout your bespoke section.

80 MAKING PROGRESS (KEY STAGES 3&4) SECTION A1 (16 PAGES) INTRODUCTION Making Progress Key Stage 3&4 The Big Picture Each year you should learn new skills and become a more effective learner. It's important to recognise what you have achieved and to plan how you will move on. This part of your planner helps you to do this. You can use it to help you see all your achievements together. We call that 'The Big Picture'. You can match your teachers' assessments against what you know you could or should achieve, and then review your targets. My Learning Goals You need to review your learning throughout the year. It's not enough to note down dates and results. You have to work out how to achieve your goals. The pages called My Learning Goals help you plan what you need to do to get there! We have filled in an example to help you see how to identify and achieve your goals by working out what changes you need to make to the way you manage your study. It's more than a set of results These pages help you to record and take pride in all the other things that you have achieved. You should include things that you have got better at, or things that you have done well in, both at school and out of school. Your teachers know about your academic results, but only you know about your personal successes. It's important that you record them so that you learn to value all you do in school, at home or in the community. Later on, these achievements may form the basis of a job or university application. You could include: Punctuality & behaviour Courses you have attended Design Right and Copyright 199, 2002, 2006 Penstripe A1 KS 3/4 Examples of how you have helped others Work experience or voluntary work Certificates you have been awarded Music or drama activities Sports or fitness achievements (as an individual or as part of a team) Responsibilities you have undertaken Introduction KS3/4 A1-1 80

86 MAKING PROGRESS (KEY STAGE 5) SECTION A2 (16 PAGES) INTRODUCTION Making Progress Key Stage 5 The Big Picture Each year you should learn new skills and become a more effective learner. It's important to recognise what you have achieved and to plan how you will move on. This part of your planner helps you to do this. You can use it to help you see all your achievements together. We call that 'The Big Picture'. You can match your teachers' assessments against what you know you could or should achieve, and then review your targets. My Learning Goals You need to review your learning throughout the year. It's not enough to note down dates and results. You have to work out how to achieve your goals. The pages called My Learning Goals help you plan what you need to do to get there! We have filled in an example to help you see how to identify and achieve your goals by working out what changes you need to make to the way you manage your study. It's more than a set of results These pages help you to record and take pride in all the other things that you have achieved. You should include things that you have got better at, or things that you have done well in, both at school and out of school. Your teachers know about your academic results, but only you know about your personal successes. It's important that you record them so that you learn to value all you do in school, at home or in the community. These achievements will form the basis of a job or university application. You could include: Punctuality & behaviour Courses you have attended Examples of how you have helped others Design Right and Copyright 199, 2002, 2006 Penstripe A2 KS5 Work experience or voluntary work Certificates you have been awarded Music or drama activities Sports or fitness achievements (as an individual or as part of a team) Responsibilities you have undertaken Introduction KS5 A2-1 86

92 SUBJECT TRACKER (KEY STAGES 3&4) SECTION A3 (16 PAGES) INTRODUCTION SUBJECT TRACKER Subject Tracker Key Stage 3&4 All of the subjects you study are important and you need to think carefully about your progress and learning in each of them. It's easy to work hard and make progress in your favourite subjects, but successful students give extra time to work on the areas they know they need to develop. How do I know if I'm making progress? Your teachers will give you target grades. These are important. They are based on the actual end of key stage results of students who started the course with your level of achievement, so the targets tell you what you could or should achieve in each subject. You can compare them with the marks and grades you get during the year and see if you are on target. You will also have information about the levels or grades you achieved last year and they will help you set yourself your goals for this year. What if I am not meeting my targets? This is when you need to discuss your work with your teachers. You will need to think about your effort level in the subject. Are you working hard, completing homework and keeping up to date? Use Subject Tracker to monitor your grades and effort levels and make an Action Plan to help you succeed. How can I improve? If you are already meeting or exceeding your targets in a subject you have some choices to make. You need advice from your teachers to help you decide whether to improve even more in that subject or to work harder on one of the subjects that you find more difficult.

It's easy to work hard and make progress in your favourite subjects, but successful students give extra time to work on the areas they know they need to develop.

This gives them evidence not only about your academic performance, but also your ability to persevere and manage your work load. If you are applying for university or for employment you will need to know what grades you require. It's important to monitor your own progress towards these goals.

126 Design Right and Copyright 2009, 2013 Penstripe ABOUT THE PERSONAL STATEMENT WRITING YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT Application to Higher Education personal statement Writing your personal statement What is the personal statement? The personal statement is a very important part of your UCAS application. In just 4 lines (4000 characters), you have to convince university admissions tutors that you are totally committed to your chosen subject. It is your opportunity to sell yourself and secure an offer of a place. It is crucial that your statement reflects your personality, as well as showing your motivation and commitment. Indicate what it is that makes you an interesting person and how you may gain even more experience from attending that university. Universities are now interviewing fewer students and rely heavily on the personal statement when assessing academically equivalent applications. Writing a statement about yourself is an important skill. There is no such thing as the perfect or model personal statement; this is unique to each individual and it is the applicant s opportunity to demonstrate their personal motivation and commitment. As a guide, the first part of the statement should be about your reasons for choosing the course and this should be followed by an outline of your knowledge and experience of the subject applied for. Finally, you need to show how the skills that you have developed and demonstrated make you a well-rounded individual. Remember: try to make your statement stand out from those of similar students. What do I write? There are no right or wrong formats. Start by using the suggestions below: 1. Course n Demonstrate that you have researched your course. n Why are you interested? n What sparked your interest? n What specific topics do you enjoy? n Identify common factors if applying for more than one course type. n For combined courses, make sure you say why you re interested in both areas. 2v n If you have an idea of your career path, explain how the course fits in with this and how it suits your interests and ability. 3. Experience n Consider both work and life experiences, both related and unrelated to your course. n Be specific about what you have learned. n Refer to transferable skills gained, e.g. planning, communication, time management & problem-solving. 4. Achievements n Include any personal achievements and state what they demonstrate, e.g. participation in a fund raising event may have involved teamwork, research and organisational skills, commitment and perseverance. Describe any positions of responsibility you ve held, e.g. student mentor or team leader. Task 1 Identify your strengths Do not be modest or take them for granted. State the skills that you have developed that are transferable requirements of your chosen course. List skills developed List evidence n Communication n Part time job n Listening n Member of sports team n Speaking n Peer mentoring younger students n Working independently n Dealing with customers n Computer literacy n Charity work n Team work n Work experience n Managing others n Voluntary work n Caring for others n Special awards and achievements n Using your initiative n Participation in events and activities Add other skills you have acquired and provide the evidence Use these lists to complete a self assessment using the headings below. You should then identify and include areas in which you require improvement. n My personal strengths/qualities n Attendance and punctuality n Involvement in extra-curricular/enrichment/additional activities n In school/college & out of school/college n Work experience/part time job/hobbies and interests Task 2 Write your personal statement. This must be clear and easy to read. Use the following tips and advice to help you: 5. Extra-curricular n You should include activities that support your choice of course. Describe any visits you have made, e.g. visits to art galleries for art courses or hospitals for nursing. n Even if your interests aren t directly relevant, it is important to give an impression of your personality so mention any hobbies or gap year plans. Top tips for your personal statement n Think about writing your statement weeks in advance you ll write several drafts. n As a rough guide, use half the space to write about your chosen course. Use the remainder to write about your chosen career path, work experience, achievements and extra-curricular activities. n Write in a positive style that you feel comfortable with, using simple words and clear sentence structures. Don t try to be funny as others may not share your sense of humour. Be analytical about yourself and the subject, rather than descriptive. Never start your personal statement, I have always been interested in. n Be honest! You may be asked questions about your personal statement at an interview. n Don t rely on a spell-checker. Proof read as many times as possible. It can be helpful to leave a few days between drafts as it s often easier to identify mistakes in spelling and grammar after distancing yourself. Ask your tutors, parents and friends to make final checks. Remember: Universities routinely check for plagiarism, ensuring statements are not copied from the internet. Avoid writing: n I enjoy reading... n I have a variety of skills... n I am the captain of the football team... Instead try to write varied sentences with a range of starting points. For example: n The opportunity to work with... n Apart from my involvement in... n In addition to Think of different starting points for the following and create your own sentences n I have taken part in... n I am the captain of the football team... n I enjoy socialising... n I enjoy reading... n I have worked at... n I ran the sixth form school council... n I do voluntary work at the local hospice... n I have a number of skills... E.g. Apart from my involvement in the school s peer mentoring programme, I am also involved in the local community s Help the Aged project It is important that your personal statement is accurate and up to date.

There is no perfect way to study or revise; different methods suit different students, but if you do not manage your workload in a planned and structured way the following statements made by many students will soon apply to you: I just can t meet the deadlines; the work keeps piling up. Concentration is my problem; I can t settle to anything for very long. Your keys to success are: Careful planning and preparation n Devise a study and revision plan and stick to it. Learn how to balance your workload. n For those students who are keen to succeed the time to work hard is NOW! Organisation n Choose an appropriate place to study. n Have suitable materials, record deadlines/exam dates and create a work plan. n Keep organised notes and folders. Time management n Meet deadlines; don t leave it until the last minute. Divide your time equally between your subjects. Make a plan and stick to it. n Break subjects down into manageable units. n A file full of notes can be daunting! Be active not passive n Ask if you do not understand. n Practice read, understand, and apply. Highlight key points use colour coding. Keep testing yourself. Act on your tutors feedback and use revision sheets, cards or websites. Your success will not only depend on your interest and ability in the subject and your knowledge of it it will be influenced by a range of other factors: n Your ability to use information will influence how well you tackle your work. n Your notes need to be good enough to use later, e.g. for revision or assignments. n You need to organise and store notes so that you can retrieve them to use again. n The quality of your work will depend on how effectively you allocate your time. n Your performance in examinations will be influenced by your revision/exam techniques, time management and how you cope under pressure. n Your tutors will inform you what factors or criteria your work will be assessed by. How to make a plan Two essentials of good planning n Make regular and complete lists of everything that has to be done. At the same time each week, look ahead and identify what has to be done next week. Draw up a list for that week. n Next, compile a chart for the week and sub-divide each day into sessions. Base the length of the sessions on the duration of your classes. This will be a familiar unit and already part of your pattern. How to complete your daily plan n Block out your committed time, e.g. lessons, part time work. n Build in some time for relaxation/recreation. n Plot the time you will spend on private study. Hints and tips n When compiling your schedule for the week ahead, check back to last week s to see if there was anything you failed to complete. If so, add it to this week s list. n After each session review briefly what you have done; if work is left incomplete, allocate further time to finish it. Remember, a lot can be achieved in a 30 minute slot. It is essential to plan using a revision timetable. Prepare well in advance. Check you are aware of coursework, deadlines, exam dates and times. Display them on your bedroom wall! Prepare Prepare your timetable well in advance. Break Breakdown each subject into modules, then individual topics. Divide Divide into revision sessions. Work out how much time you need for each one. Do not leave your last exam or final piece of coursework to the end. Tick off Tick off each session on completion. Don t forget to leave time for testing. Always Always try to revise the more difficult topics first and earlier in the day. Subject preparation For each subject you study find out and record the following information in your file. Subject Unit title % total marks Course type Assessment type e.g. AS/A2 Assessment criteria Target grade When taken Exam board Result Remember: revision means seeing again n Revision should be about condensing information. n The manageable units of the course should be allocated to appropriate slots in your revision plan. n You should revise in slots of about an hour. n Tick off topics when revised to show progress and give sense of achievement. n Use mnemonics. n Consistent study pays. n Revision starts when you start studying. n Take notes which you understand. n Learn something, cover it, and recite it. n It is easier to remember pictures/graphs/diagrams. n Associate new information with old. n Review with others; share knowledge and everyone gains. n Study past exam papers and any specimen questions. n Practise writing answers in full, under timed conditions. n Give yourselves treats and rewards - if you deserve them! Revise in a quiet room with no distractions; some people need silence whilst others work better with quiet music in the background. Check you have all the resources and stationery you need. Revision planning Plan your revision programme for each subject well in advance and reap the rewards. Start weeks before your first exam. Final hints and tips Make a final revision hit list of the topics you absolutely must cover. One month before your exams commence, check all dates, places and times. Exam/final CW hand in Date Time Duration Place Additional notes Remember: sleep, rest and eat well. Some leisure is still important.

Although some aspects of your essay writing techniques will vary depending on the subject, there are key points which are relevant when approaching any essay: n It is not a one-session task but should be spread over several sessions. n You should not simply sit down with a blank sheet of paper and start to write. n You can expect to do the bulk of your work before you write the real thing. n You should break the task into stages so that you can tackle it a bit at a time.

You can do this up to 3 months before you reach the minimum age. To apply you will need to complete a DA1 application form or apply online at the DVLA. Learning to drive For mopeds and motorcycles, you must complete Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) before you are allowed to ride on the road. Only instructors certified by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) can teach CBT at an Approved Training Body (ATB). On successful completion of the course, you will be issued with a Certificate of Completion (DL 196). For cars, learner drivers must be supervised by a person who has held a full driving licence for more than 3 years and is at least 21 years of age. You can only pay someone to teach you to drive if they are approved and registered by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA). In most areas there are many Approved Driving Instructors (ADI) who will be able to provide tuition. The theory test When you have obtained your provisional licence you may take your theory test. You must take and pass this before you book your practical test. The theory test consists of two parts: multiple choice and hazard perception. You must pass both parts. To prepare, study the Highway Code, Know your Traffic Signs and any other relevant books from the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) Driving Skills series. The practical test After passing the theory test you must pass your practical test within 2 years. The practical test lasts around 40 minutes and you must be able to drive safely in a variety of conditions and demonstrate a knowledge of the Highway Code. In addition to general driving, the test includes: n An eyesight check n Manoeuvring exercises (including reversing for cars) n Vehicle safety questions Throughout the test the examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard.

It is important to think about and plan for this now. Around 16 per cent more drivers aged are killed now compared with 15 years ago Important terms and definitions As many as one new driver in five has some kind of collision in their first year of driving Department for Transport The New Driver Act If you build up six or more penalty points within two years of passing your driving test your licence will be revoked. You will then need to reapply for a provisional licence as a learner driver and complete both parts of the driving test again. Basic safety for new drivers After passing your driving test you will be permitted to drive on your own. It is essential that you remain safe and continue to practise all that you have been taught in the time leading up to your test. You must obey all relevant legislation and rules of the road. Generally, newly qualified drivers lack experience. The following basic safety tips will help you to develop your skills over the next few years when you are at your most vulnerable: n Make sure that you and your passengers always wear a seat belt. n Never use a hand-held mobile phone whilst driving. n Don t drive if you have consumed any alcohol or taken drugs. n Read labels on medication carefully to see if they may affect your driving. n Ensure you are fit enough to drive and consider tiredness on long journeys. n If you are driving with passengers you are responsible for their safety. n Don t let other people distract you or encourage you to take risks. n Never show off or try to compete with other drivers. n Keep your speed down; the majority of accidents are caused by going too fast. n Concentrate fully on the road and anticipate the actions of other road users. Pass Plus Pass Plus is a training course designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and is specifically aimed at new drivers. Pass Plus will build upon your existing skills and knowledge. It will teach you how to anticipate, plan for and deal with all kinds of hazards and can help you to become more confident on the roads.
