Level 2 Targets.

• Level 2 courses are all at the GCSE standard.
  This term covers new courses such as BTEC.
• Our targets are always based on prior attainment.
• We will review them throughout the two years to
  make sure they are realistic

Progress Checks.

• We send home our progress checks information so
  you can compare progress against targets.
• This will happen four times a year

Coursework.

• Most subjects will be operating new GCSE courses
  this year.
• Most GCSE subjects no longer do traditional
  coursework.
• Most do controlled tasks, done under supervision.
• These need a lot of preparation before hand,
  sometimes at home.

6
Exams.

• Most GCSE courses have an examined component.
• BTEC, ASDAN and OCR Nationals are coursework
  only.
• Many students will take public exams during
  January and June of year 10
• English, Science, Geography, History, Business
  Studies.
• English and Maths offer early entry to all
  students to give them more than once chance at
  passing.
• We will not have a Y10 exam week this year
  because of the different timings needed for
  assessments.

7
At Parents Evening.

• Ask the teacher about how your child will be
  assessed over the next year and a half.
• Ask how they will be approaching the coursework
  task and what it is.
• Ask about deadlines for coursework and whether it
  can be done at home.
• Ask about revision guides and revision support.
• Take notes during the meeting.

8
Attendance.

• We monitor the links between attendance and
  success in Y11.
• Poor attendance always brings limited success.
• If a student has over one week off school, they
  may need support in catching up.
• Please do not book holidays during term time in
  years 10 and 11.
• 95 attendance is a minimum for GCSE success.
