Year 11 Issues
Thanks to Pat for the feedback on the standardising process on Friday. I have the booklets and will distribute them this week. I have also used the AQA Enhanced Results Analysis service to gather more data on the performance of our students from last year; it’s not quite finished as I need some FFT data, but it’s more or less done. Could year 11 teachers please have a look at the document, which has some interesting data relating to our students’ performance on specific questions and parts of the paper. Some points in particular:
- Higher Tier performance was considerably stronger than Foundation, when compared with similar schools nationally
- Boys performed similarly to girls in Paper 2, but significantly worse in Paper 2
- Our coursework received lower grades than similar schools nationally
- The two AOs for writing which achieved lower marks were:
o AO3 (i) communicate clearly and imaginatively, using and adapting forms for different readers and purposes
o AO3 (ii) organise ideas into sentences, paragraphs and whole texts using a variety of linguistic and structural features
If you would like to know how to complete this detailed, question by question analysis for your own class, see me and I’ll show you how.
I have sent around some resources on this – a document from the QCDA which has some really useful practical approaches to teaching writing for GCSE, and an AO grid for the writing sections of the exam.
