1 Venerable Bede CE Academy Soar to the heights together Supporting Your Child Through Their GCSE Courses A guide for Parents/Carers

2

3 Introduction Dear Parent/Carer Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this guide. It is essential that our Y11 pupils are well prepared for the GCSE examinations which they will be taking in the summer of As I am sure you will agree, this is a journey where everyone needs to understand the role they have to play. We also need the tools as well as the key information which is likely to bring about success for each learner. This partnership between pupils, home and school is critical to everyone s success. This guide consists of several sections. As well as subject specific information, there is a generic section explaining how parents can support their child on the lead up to, and during the exam period itself. The last year of secondary education will go extremely quickly for the pupils. One of the key things is to understand is that time is precious, and each pupil should make sure that they take every opportunity to work together with staff on any areas of their studies which are identified as requiring support. This will mean that pupils in Y11may be required to do work in addition to their lessons. This additional work may be after school, or at home in the form of revision. This work is critical to their future success. There is very firm evidence which shows the direct link between pupil success at GCSE and the preparations which they make in advance. My advice to everyone is to take part and make use of every opportunity presented to them, both in school hours and after school. This is where parents / carers can really make the difference. If we are going to enable each pupil to fulfil their true potential we need to work together to ensure that they fully engage in all aspects of school including revision, even if they may not enjoy all aspects of it! All that remains, is for me to wish our pupils good luck in their GCSE studies. I believe that each one of them has the potential to achieve beyond their imagination. What they need to do now is take control of the situation and do whatever it takes to be the best which they can. If you would like to discuss your child s education further, please do feel that you can speak to your child s teacher, a Head of Subject or a Senior member of staff. Kindest regards David Airey Head of School

4 GCSEs a survival guide for parents/carers Preparing for GCSE examinations is challenging for families as well as students! Young people are under pressure to succeed and families are under pressure to help in any way they can. However, many parents and carers are unsure how to best support young people. Maybe you aren t comfortable with helping out because you are unsure of your knowledge of the subjects your son/daughter is studying. Maybe you are confused by the GCSE system particularly following the changes to the grading system! Or maybe you didn t do GCSEs and believe you cannot offer any help or advice. It s usual for all parents and carers to feel this way. But, do not let this get in the way of supporting your son or daughter during this important period of their school life. Studies have shown that students with parents and carers who take an active role in their child s education generally do better in exams than those who don t the good news is, you don t need to be an expert to get involved! Showing an interest, engaging and motivating your child to study, even providing a shoulder to cry on when things get tough are all useful ways to help. Why is revision important? How much revision should they be doing? It reinforces what they already know Helps to identify weak points and problem areas Helps them gain a solid understanding of the subject Boosts exam confidence It s essential that students do NOT leave revision until the last minute. Many studies show that revision should start 16 WEEKS before the exams begin. Many students underestimate the time needed for revision; leaving it too late adds to stress and anxiety! The following revision calculator is a quick way to figure out how much revision time is needed: Step 1 Find out how many GCSEs you child is taking Step 2 Find out how many topics are examined per subject (For example, for English Language it is FOUR topics, for English Literature it is FIVE). Step 3 Each topic should be allocated 1 hour of revision time across the revision period so 1hour x total number of topics (For English Language and Literature 9 hours worth of revision should be allocated)

AO9 Use spoken Standard English effectively in speeches and presentations. How you can support your child: Students should access a range of reading material to revise AO1-4. Can they summarise the content and select any effective features? Encourage writing and proofreading to improve technical accuracy and develop creative flair. In preparation for Spoken Language, encourage your child to speak clearly to others, perhaps socially and in more formal settings. This will help with their confidence. Revision website:

Give them a page of a book, ask them to read it and then ask questions to see if they have understood. Students have to compare to unseen poems. Give your child a poem they have never read and ask them to summarise its meaning for you. Revision website:
