The Classroom Contract
We respect other people’s feelings, opinions, personal space and property. We are organised and bring the correct books and equipment. We try our best to listen, concentrate and do work which will make us proud. We are always polite to staff and follow their instructions. We put up our hands, wait for permission before speaking and only make positive contributions. We enter and leave our classrooms in a safe and orderly manner.
8
Learning Journals The purpose of the new Diary is to provide opportunities for students to reflect on their learning. It is proven that revisiting learning regularly helps with understanding and memorising information which will lead to greater progress being made. This is an essential habit for success at GCSE.
9
Learning Journals The diary should include a summary of what they have learned and questions they have arising from the lesson (they could find these out using the internet or by returning to subject teachers for clarification) Parents should use this as an opportunity for discussion with students - what are they learning about? - Ask questions to check their understanding and help students develop the skill of explanation. Parents should comment and sign this journal each weekend when discussing their child’s learning with them and form tutors will sign during the following week when they check each review.
11
Homework This will be set according to the homework timetable. Every night they should have work to do Homework will be set electronically via “Show my Homework.” This makes it very easy for you to check! Please support your child by helping them to organise themselves: there is a leap from Key Stage 3. Some students will need support in organising themselves: build independence.
15
Attendance Aim for 100% attendance.
Good attendance will maximise your son/daughter’s learning and therefore could affect their performance in their GCSEs. Holidays in term time are not permitted.
16
Impact of Absence 90% attendance for the year is the equivalent of missing nearly 5 weeks of school. The government has classed persistent absenteeism as 90%. The school will monitor and take necessary action over student attendance. This could range from a reminder letter home to a referral to the Education Welfare Service and a court hearing. Students will struggle to catch up.

18
Absence from school Parents must the school on: if their child is too ill to attend. Ensure a note is provided the next day to explain the absence. If a student is going to be absent long term work can be sent home (however this will take a few days to organise). Do not ask for term time holiday. You will be disappointed. Change: don’t telephone in.
19
Punctuality Students are expected to be at school by 8:20.
They need to be seated in their form rooms by 8:30 for registration. The main gate is closed at 8:25 and students will have to sign in as being late. This will lead to an immediate after school detention. Continued lateness to school may be referred to the Local educational authority and you may receive a Fixed Penalty Notice. They must be on time to all lessons. 6 lates in a 4 week period:FPN
20
Rewards The school has introduced a new Rewards system. VIVO
Students are awarded points by their teachers. They can go online and buy prizes with these points.
21
Examinations Tested throughout the year.
Constant controlled assessment and exam modules. Year 10 mock exams – June 2019 Summer exams - May 2020 All GCSEs are now linear – exams are taken at the end of Year 11. Graded from 9-1. Grade 5 = a “good” pass.
22
Subjects At Key stage 4 classes are set by the subjects. The half year groups are now determined by the options chosen by the students. Please be aware that the setting is very different in KS4. There is less setting and students are taught mainly in more mixed ability option groups. If you have any queries about which set your son or daughter is in please contact the Head of Department.
23
Controlled Assessments
Some subjects still complete coursework via controlled assessments. Essentially, these operate like exams in the classroom. It is essential that students follow the instructions given by the member of staff. Students could face disqualification if they do not. If students are absent for a controlled assessment, it is likely that they will have to complete them in their own time. This usually means both staff and students staying behind after school or coming in at week ends.
24
Your Child Must be in Education/training until the age of 18.
Students need levels 8 and 9 in their GCSEs for highly competitive courses such as Medicine There have been significant changes at A Level. AS levels no longer contribute towards the A level grade. Feedback from “red brick” universities is that they will be looking more closely at GCSE results as a consequence.
25
Behaviour For learning
EXCELLENT - Always tries hard and perseveres when they experience difficulties, seeks to achieve excellence in all that they do, participates fully in lessons, is well organised and produces homework to a very high standard; often goes beyond the minimum expected. GOOD - Consistently works hard and seeks to produce work that meets the expected standards; participates well in class, is well organised and always completes homework. INCONSISTENT - Inconsistent in terms of the quality of work produced, concentration in class, completion of homework and general organisation. POOR - Regularly misses homework deadlines or does not complete home or class work to an acceptable standard, often disorganised, does not concentrate well in lessons. Seen this in reports from last year: first report before Xmas: essential you look at the BFL grade
26
What can students do to become an excellent learners?
Go onto the exam boards’ websites for additional resources for subjects. Consolidate notes every night onto flash cards/mind maps etc If they have found something difficult, do extra research or practice exercises at home. Have a go at past papers. Act on teacher feedback. Where are the areas for development? What more can be done to address them? Do extra research on a topic eg: if reading “An Inspector Calls” what else did J.B Priestley write? Read it! Use the additional resources that are available eg: websites (Bitesize, Mymaths..) Attend all available revision sessions and speak to teachers. Homework is a minimum
27
Prefects The vast majority of students will be given an opportunity
- Year 11 Prefects - Senior Prefects - Senior Students - Head Students
28
Extra Curricular The fixtures and clubs can be found on the school website Letters and the Head’s Newsletter will provide extra information Announcements and posters will be displayed in form rooms Cadet students have permission to leave slightly early on Fridays and the register will be updated accordingly.
29
Promoting harmony: achieving excellence.
30
Target Setting Assistant Headteacher - Ms F Tobin
Responsibilities include whole school target setting as well as student target setting and monitoring.
31
Earlier Today Students were given their ‘Minimum Expected Grades’ or ‘MEGs’ for each subject. Students were shown how the school works out each students MEGs using FFT percentage chances. Students were then given an opportunity to reflect on their MEGs and discuss them with their Form Tutors and Pastoral Leaders.
32
Minimum Expected Grades
The estimated grades we are using are based on how the AVERAGE student with a particular KS2 level has progressed in the AVERAGE school in the country. We are not an average school. We are able to recruit well-qualified high calibre teachers; the vast majority of our parents are supportive of the school and their children’s education and the behaviour of our students is exceptional. It is CRUCIAL, therefore, that we do not see these grades as TARGETS but as MINIMUM EXPECTED OUTCOMES for our students.
33
FFT Percentage Chances
The school uses Fisher Family Trust data (FFT) to generate a percentage chance table. They show us the percentage chance of obtaining each grade based on a students gender, date of birth and prior attainment.
34

What can you do to help? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXhbtCcmsyQ
Listen to them read an article from a newspaper and discuss the ideas and vocabulary. What can you do to help? Every year there are students who far exceed their MEGs and others who do not achieve their MEG. Instead of only asking what their grade in an assessment was. Ask whether they put in their best effort ! Tennis Lia – History/ Science D ALLDEN
36
Moving Forward Your child has begun to reflect on their MEGs.
Please talk to them about their MEGs. Ask them whether they know what knowledge and skills are required to achieve (and exceed) their MEGs in each subject. Form tutors will encourage their students to talk with their class teachers about the skills and knowledge they require. These will be ongoing dialogue over the next two years!
37
THERE IS LOTS OF HELP AVAILABLE
Reporting Every term we will send a report home. Each teacher will enter a predicted grade for the student. These grades reflect what each teacher thinks the student will get at GCSE if they continue to work with their current attitude and level of effort. Please compare it with the ‘minimum estimated grade’ and discuss with you child whether they need to get additional help? THERE IS LOTS OF HELP AVAILABLE
