1. Key Stage 4 Information Evening Lady Lumley’s Loves Learning
2. Dave Brailsford’s philosophy “Firstly, you need a team with the skills and motivation to succeed” “Secondly, you need to understand what you want to achieve” “Thirdly, you need to understand where you are now” “Then, you need to put a plan in place to see how you can get from where you are now to what you want to achieve” “Also, it’s important to understand the ‘aggregation of marginal gains’.  Put simply….how small improvements in a number of different aspects of what we do can have a huge impact to the overall performance of the team
3. Information Evening Outcomes To understand targets-where they come from and how we use them. To understand the importance of life and work during KS4. To understand the importance of work experience in planning for the future. To have a better knowledge of what is available in Sixth Form/post-16.
4. Key Stage 4 – “Understand where you are now” New courses New challenges
5. Key Stage 4 – where do you want to be and how are you going to get there? Richard Bramley– Headteacher-Target Setting Lorraine Phippen Deputy Headteacher-Key Stage 4 Student Support Laura Mead - Work Experience James Ambrose- Assistant Headteacher and Head of Sixth Form
6. Target Setting
7. Target Setting is based on ? Talk to the person next to you. Where do you think targets come from?
8. Target Setting is always based on The relationship between past performance and future performance.
9. Past performance and Future performance What you did in the past is an INDICATOR of how well you will do in the future. For a large sample of people
10. KS2 versus KS4 scores In the next slide, Key Stage 2 scores are compare to Key Stage 4 scores . These are for the same students over a space of 5 years. The scores Fred Bloggs got in his KS2 test in 1999 are compared to Fred’s KS4 scores in 2004
11. 2004 KS4 actual point score KS2 average point score
12. KS4 versus KS2 average point score - England KS4 average point score KS2 average point score There is relationship between past and future exam performance
13. KS4 versus KS2 average point score - England KS4 average point score KS2 average point score There is relationship between past and future exam performance
14. Thinking Time Any surprises? Anything in what you've heard you didn’t know already? Anything you don’t believe?
15. Why bother setting targets? Whole School Level Subject Level Student Level (the most important)
16. KS2 to KS4 – the real picture The next slide shows every student in Lady Lumley’s young person's KS4 scores plotted against the expected KS4 score based on their KS2 scores from 5 years earlier. What do you expect it to look like?
17. Positive value-added This is actual data about Lady Lumley’s students from 2010. Negative value-added Expected KS4 score calculated from KS2 average point score
18. But
19. Targets are not a PREDICTION they are an INDICATION. If you (as a student) and we (as teachers and parents) are doing our job right, you should meet your target and even exceed it.
20. All these people have exceeded their target grades Expected KS4 score calculated from KS2 average point score
21. Target Setting
22. Where do the Targets come from? We use a national system for setting targets. This compares us with the top 25% of schools nationally Predicts a student’s GCSE grades based upon their prior attainment at Key Stage 2 and 3.
23. What does this mean for my child? It is a guideline for your child’s attainment at GCSE. Students and teachers can strive to exceed targets. Two assessed pieces of work every half term enable us to track student performance closely. Students who are showing signs of struggling in a subject can be identified more readily and supported.
24. Exams All exams will take place at the end of the course and form part of the overall GCSE grade. It is important that you know the dates of any exams and controlled assessments and avoid booking holidays or medical appointments.
25. Controlled Assessments Controlled assessments have replaced coursework in many subjects. The assessments are carried out under exam style conditions, throughout the course. The results count towards the final GCSE grade.
26. Student Support Team in Key Stage 4 Subject Teachers Subject Leaders Form Tutors Pastoral Support- Sarah Monkman Attendance – Natalie Lazenby
27. What happens if there is a concern about a student in a subject?
28. Subject Teacher Intervention at classroom level- discussion with the student about the issue. Work with the student to improve the situation. Possible attendance at drop-in sessions If the student continues to be a concern the Key Stage 4 Student Monitoring Form is used to alert Subject Leaders for further intervention The student planner should be used for communication with home.
29. Subject Leader A meeting with the student to discuss the concerns and agree targets for improvement. Communication with home – phone call/letter. Alert Student Support team and the Form Tutor Issues to do with vocational courses are referred to Christian Walton
30. Form Tutor The Form Tutor should have an overview of each student in their tutor group. Through weekly planner checks and individual interviews and monitoring of the learning diary tutors will be able to keep a close check on progress.
31. Tracking and Monitoring Progress-How does this work? Information from staff. Data generated through pieces of assessed work each half-term.
32. Reporting Home- What does this tell me? TARGET GRADE - the minimum grade that you should aim to achieve in the examinations at the end of Year 11. It is based both on prior attainment that is achieved at the end of Key Stages 2 and 3. CURRENT GRADE – the GCSE grade that you achieved based on actual assessed pieces of work.At this stage in Year 10 this may be lower than Target/Forecast. FORECAST GRADE – the GCSE grade that your teachers expect you to achieve by the end of Year 11 based on performance so far. ATTITUDE TO LEARNING - Your attitude to learning. The grades are: 1 = excellent, 2 = good, 3 = some concerns, 4 = serious concerns
33. How do we use the information from reports? To celebrate success Postcards Letters To reinforce interventions already in place Meeting with student- tutor/student support Mentoring
34. Further support
35. Fronter- Home Learning Home Learning tasks on Fronter. Check planners.
36. Drop-in sessions During lunchtimes Advertised via bulletin boards and newsletters
37. How can parents/carers get involved? Home Learning- check Fronter Check the planner- communicate with tutors/staff. Subject specific concerns- contact Subject Leaders-contact details are in the information booklet. General concerns/questions- Sarah Monkman/Lorraine Phippen Attend consultation evenings and Parent Forum meetings Student attendance at school…….
38. Attendance This is Simon He has 90% attendance Is that good? What does this mean?
39. Attendance Simon thinks this is pretty good. So do his parents, are they right? 90%attendance = ½ day missed - every week!! (Would your boss like you to be off work this much??). ____________-------___________ Absent half a day every week
40. Attendance Lets look a little closer….. 1 school year at 90% = 4 whole weeks of lessons MISSED!!
41. Attendance What impact might this have on Simon? Research suggests that 17 missed school days a year = GCSE grade drop in achievement (DfES) The greater the attendance the greater Simon’s achievement.
42. Attendance The school wants to aim for a target of above 95% Be part of the success story!
43. Finally We want to work in partnership; the students, parents and the school working together in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for each individual.
