TEACHER THOUGHTS and FEELINGSTop groups coping well with topics and key ideas: Science
Lower ability students find pace hard but that means we focus on the most important parts: all
Course can easily be taught in two years avoiding repetition in year 9 :Maths
Most of P.O.S. can be covered in 2 years. The Shakespeare needs longer particularly for maturity of understanding:English
SAT to be used as benchmark within GCSE course:Upper school
Pro-active positive support from LEA consultants
More opportunity to develop cross phase schemes of work - all
More curriculum opportunities becoming evident for the students in KS4: all /US
