Attitude to Learning (please see grades given above)

5 This student is a self-motivated and cooperative learner who participates enthusiastically and maturely in class. This student always completes tasks to the best of their ability and they show resilence when faced with challenges.

4 This student is a cooperative learner who participates maturely in class. This student usually completes tasks to the best of their ability and they make a good attempt when faced with challenges.

3 This student usually works hard but does not always complete work to the best of their ability. This student generally engages well in class but they can lose focus and become distracted especially with more challenging tasks.

2 This student sometimes shows a willingness to learn when motivated by the task. This student needs clear direction and supervision to stay on task and they sometimes give up when faced with challenges.

1 This student shows little personal motivation in their learning. This student can be uncooperative even with considerable teacher input and they can disrupt the learning of others. This student often leaves tasks incomplete and they give up when faced with challenges.

Current Grade: This indicates the standard of most of the work being completed by Ivor. This takes into account practice exam questions, classwork, homework and other teacher-assessed

work. Each grade is divided into + (strong), = (secure and- (weak).

On track for end of Year 11 target: The judgement of the teacher on whether Ivor is set to exceed, just reach, or fall short of his end of Year 11 target. This is based on work produced so far.

If Ivor is shown as tracking to go below target, the target may still be reached with additional effort and through extra support.

New GCSE Grades: There is a new grading system for all subjects:

GCSE Grade 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Notes about non-GCSE courses

Cambridge Nationals Levels 1 & 2 L2D* L2D L2M L2P L1D L2M L1P ICT and Sport Science are OCR Cambridge National Level 1 & 2 courses

WJEC Levels 1 & 2 L2D* L2D L2M L2P L1P Hospitality & Catering is a WJEC Level 1 & 2 course

Equivalent to old GCSE grade (A*-G) A* A B C D E F G Key: L1 = Level 1 L2 = Level 2 D = Distinction M = Merit P = Pass

Grade 4 is needed for a ‘standard’ pass. Grade 5 is needed for a ‘strong’ pass. Combined Science has double-grades (e.g. two GCSEs at grade 4 shown as 44 – pronounced “four-four”).

End of Year 11 Minimum Target Grade: This is designed to be challenging but achievable. It is the minimum grade which Ivor should achieve at the end of Year 11 and is based on his

previous core assessments:

KS2: Reading 108 Grammar, P:unctuation & Spelling 105 Maths 115 Expected standard 100 Cognitive Abilities Tests (CAT): Verbal 106 Quantitative 111 Non-verbal 110 Spatial 108 National average 100

Work Experience – 22nd – 25th June 2020

The aim of work experience is to give young people a first-hand insight into the world of work, as well as to improve social and personal development and give

ideas as to what you may want (or decide you don’t want) to do as a career.

You need to realistic in your chosen placement :Is it really suitable for a 14/15 year old?What would I actually be doing? Will I be bored? Could this be the chance to experience something new?

Self-placement - By finding your own placement you can choose exactly what you want to do and make useful contacts for the future.

Talk to parents, family friends and neighbours to see if they can help you find a suitable placement.

Character and Culture (LORIC)LORIC and ‘The Edge’

This programme provides the opportunities for students

• to develop important values

• to make themselves attractive to further education and future employers

The programme focuses on five key values that employers consider to be most desirable:

❱ Leadership

❱ Organisation

❱ Initiative

❱ Resilience

❱ Communication

Students complete a range of activities (lead a warm up in P.E, organise a

charity bake sale). These can be many and varied and can be undertaken in

normal lessons, in extra-curricular clubs or outside of school.

The completion of each of these levels leads to a recognised (unregulated)

qualification from NCFE.
