12 The Age 16 Passport English and Maths 5 GCSE passes at 4 or above

13 GCSE Summer 2018 GCSE Results Summary (261 pupils entered) Percentage of students attaining 4+ in English and Maths 66% Percentage of students attaining 5+ in English and Maths 43% Students Achieving 9-4 in English - 72% Students Achieving 9-4 in Maths - 74% Students Achieving 9-5 in English - 59% Students Achieving 9-5 in Maths - 50% At this point in the presentation I informed parents/carers of the messages that were given to Year 11 in their assembly at the beginning of the year. These are the figures the last cohort achieved this summer. Predictions for the current year 11 are higher.

14

15 43 86? Pupils were shown these figures asked what they represent. They were shocked when they realised it was number of lessons left for their option subjects (43) and core subjects (86) until the start of the exams there is no time to waste!

16 Exams are getting tougher! Key changes that apply to all subjects are: English and maths have two years experience now so they have a better understanding of 9-1 and what pupils need to be able to do to achieve the grades. Most other subjects have completed their first year on the new grading scale from 9 to 1. For a few it is their first year through the new specification and 9-1 grading. Coursework/ Controlled Assessment only applies now to fewer subjects increased emphasis on terminal assessment. Fewer subjects will now use tiered entry. November exams are only available in Maths and English language, and only for students who were 16 or over on the preceding 31 August; all other exams will take place in the summer.

22 TOP TIPS FOR BEING SUCCESSFUL IN SCIENCE GCSE 1. Complete all Doddle home learning set. Students are set 9 quizzes to complete a half term. These will be revision and come with a presentation to help students complete it. All students should make notes from these quizzes and repeat them until they are achieving at least 80 %. 2. Learn the 23 physics equations needed for the exams. Students have been using some of these since year 7 and they are needed for calculations during the exams. Sometimes the equations are given some times they are not, so it is best to revise and learn them all. These have been sent to all students on FROG. 3. Start revising now! There is a large amount of content to learn and if it is not revised it will not stick. Revision guides can be purchased in college and Science revision runs on Tuesday and Wednesdays in B Practice exam questions This is tricky with the limited amount of past paper questions, however we will be sending students PIXL independence booklets through FROG for home learning which contain lots of exam style questions.

23 Ofqual announcement Computer Science On 8 January 2018 Ofqual announced its decision on the role of the non-exam assessment (NEA) for GCSE computer science. Their decisions mean that for 2018 and 2019 entry: the NEA task will not count towards the grades of the GCSE (9 1) Computer Science qualifications schools/colleges must ensure that all students have the opportunity to spend 20 hours of timetabled time on the NEA task. teachers will not be required to mark the NEA solution.
