What to expect?
How was year 11 for you?
Year 11 for me was rather calm for the first few months up to about November. It was mainly trying to finish off coursework. From January onwards it was the piles
and piles of stress.
What advice will you like to give to the upcoming year 11s?
Listen in class, revise earlier on than I did (around January), do your coursework because it helps a lot with your grades and also don't overwork yourself because it can
do a lot more harm than good if you work yourself too much.

There is a great deal you can do as a parent. You can’t revise for them, however much you’d like to (or not), you can’t take the exams for them, but you can be invaluable in making the exam process smooth, calm and successful.
Please remember: Don’t hesitate to contact the school for help and advice.

Revising isn’t something that should be challenging or difficult at all. What revising
is, unfortunately, is time consuming. It takes a while. That’s why starting early is
best.
Create a revision timetable and stick to it- remind them of what they should be doing.

Year 11
2015-16
It goes very quickly!
• 46 school days until mocks begin• 133 days until public exams start
Why are mocks important?● Gives us and you a clear picture of where you are...a year and a term
into your GCSE courses● We will use mock grades for sixth form applications and to determine
the courses that will be available to you● You get an indication of how on track you are for the next step in your
education
The Sixth Form
Fantastic new sixth form study centre!!
Data Analysis
● We have been analysing the data from your last reports, looking at what teachers think you are going to get at the end of GCSE. This is based on homework, classwork, assessments and general attitude.
● We have created a WAR BOARD!!
What is the WAR BOARD?
● It clearly outlines students who are at risk of underachieving ● All teachers have access to it and will start targeting individuals and
ensuring that they make more rapid progress.● How do we work it out? Students who have more than -1.0 in terms
of progress will be the first cohort to have a focus on them.

What does -1.0 mean?
● It means that on average students are set to achieve one grade lower than what they have the potential to achieve.
● If the score is bigger than this -3.00 for example, t means that on average students are set to achieve 3 grades lowerthan their potential
What now?
● Time to step it up!● Hard work...it’s the only way!● This year will be tough, we will help and support you.● If your teachers arrange for you to do extra work, do it; or if they give
up time to help you, be there.
