  5. What a difference a year makes...

  6. Attainment and Achievement • 8 or more good grades – the 100% school? • 5 or more good grades including Maths and English – The Headline figure • 3 levels of progress in the core subjects – Hidden? • Motivational Extra-curricular Events – embedded?

  7. Progress matters 100% *A-D the new target for all??

  8. The Core

  9. Straw poll: Maths English Science Other

  10. What does this email tell us? This is factually incorrect. Dilemma – short v long • Hope you're having a good weekend. • I've attached some data on the year 10 module one results. We were expecting slightly lower than usual results and unfortunately that is what happened. The main reasons behind this are: • weaker cohort • two NQT’s having four year 10 classes, as they have no core year 11 classes • too many D grades • I think the NQT’s and other staff are receiving a lot of support but have struggled at ks4 and we really need to focus on staff development if the results are going to remain as high as previous years. At the moment, I'm worried that Sheila and I are getting a little stretched with everything in year 11 and now the year 10 resit classes. Hopefully, we can still continue to focus on developing staff teaching. Validating failure? Pressure and Accountability

  11. Maths

  12. Maths • Linear/Modular • Exam Board and when to sit • Groupings • Tracking understanding and progress • Modular examination prep? • Set number = grade? • 3 levels of progress • Team planning

  25. Students • Pledges (Outwood Grange) • School Diplomas (John Madejski Academy) • Organisation • Leadership and Role Models • Celebration and Incentives • Parental engagement to raise achievement • Knowing where they are and how they can improve – ownership of learning and progress • Default achievement culture

  26. Staffing • Structures • Pastoral/Academic Divide • Standing agenda items • Meeting Structure • Teacher vs tutor • Support Staff (to raise achievement) • Academic Tutoring – rhetoric or reality? • Default Settings and Standard Operating Procedures • Evaluate the impact of every TLR in the school

  27. Support Staff to Raise Achievement • SEN – promote level 2 for all? • Science technicians – support delivery? • Examinations Officer – driving data? • Mentors – what impact? How empowered? • Impact of “pastoral managers” now? • Hard to reach specialists – not sapping all

  28. Curriculum What does your current curriculum currently produce? • How many students will leave year 11 with less than 8 GCSE grades? • How many will leave with less than 8 good grades? • How many students make 3 (or more ) levels of progress in English, Maths and Science?

  29. Curriculum 2 • Starting early – year 7 – what is the earliest age for a formal qualification in your school? • Core subjects – easiest to modify • Bandings/groupings • Optional Subjects • Speed of implementation • www.vision2learnforschools.co.uk healthy eating • Key skills suite
