  22. The Year to Come… The step up to key stage 4 Presented by Ben Oakes and Megan Smith

  23. Introduction… KS4 – What’s changed? • Everybody deals with Y10 in different ways, and has stresses that are unique to them. • It’s all about effort, and your desire to succeed. • You have to apply yourself , and ask if you don’t understand things.

  24. New Forms, New Faces… Should you worry about new surroundings? • It’s normal to be worried. • We both felt skeptical when moving into our new forms. • But it isn’t the be all and end all. • It gets much, much easier!

  25. Less Subjects, More Work… How to not let coursework stress you out: • It will probably be their first experience of coursework. • It can be stressful, deadlines may all come at once. • Work needs to be put in outside of school hours. • You can only make progress if you want to make progress.

  26. Be Organized… Organization is the key to success, and happiness • Have a clean desk to work on. • Keep track of sheets. • Keep track of your planner, and remember to keep up with revision at a steady, but constant, pace. • Your planner has to be perfect by Sunday night, ready for the next week of school.

  27. The Time Is Now… Start as you mean to go on • The school motto this year is ‘The Time is Now’ • This message is key. • GCSE’s start in year 10, not year 11. • You will get official GCSE controlled assessments throughout year 10. • There isn’t enough time to re-sit everything in year 11.

  28. Personal Experience These are some of the highs and lows of Y10

  29. Thank You If your children, or yourselves, have any further questions, then feel free to ask.

  32. Mental Health Needs • Everyone has mental health needs • Good mental health, like good physical health is important for everyone • “The capacity to live a full, productive life as well as the flexibility to deal with its ups and downs. In children and young people it is especially about the capacity to learn, enjoy friendships to meet challenges, to develop talents and capabilities” • (Young Minds)

  33. Some factors that may cause emotional distress • Exam pressure • Feeling lonely/isolated • Life pressures • Low Mood • Anxiety • Historic events • Family relationships • Anger and frustration • Illness of self or others • School issues

  34. What to look out for! • Tiredness • Become socially anxious • Not making expected progress • A child is often on their own or upset • Not wanting to attend school • Change in mood • Struggling to concentrate • Poor effort • Behaviour • Failure to meet deadlines and targets

  35. WE ARE ALL HUMAN! • Think about how we cope when we suffer emotional distress? • If children are happy and healthy and mentally well then their academic success will follow • We have to put our faith in the professionals • We need support too

  36. Support for the child • School staff • School nurse • GP • Counselling • Mental well-being organisations • CAMHS (Tiers 1-4)
