This week - reports for Year 13 and year 8 are available on SERCO.
TBo out on Thurs at HODs conference (finding out about the new GCSE syllabi)
Department Review
Sincere thanks to all for the efforts that went into review week. I hope that colleagues found the opportunity to reflect on and discuss lessons useful. Two things are happening this week:
- We will conduct a work scrutiny of year 9 books and folders. Therefore, could I ask year 9 teachers to provide me with the books and work folders for three students from your class - one should be high ability, one middle and one low. I need to collect these on Wednesday please.
- AW and I will meet this week to put together the formal feedback
Finally, there will be feedback to the department at the next meeting, at which point staff will have the opportunity to discuss how we found the process and how it could be improved.
Year 11 Mocks
Mocks are on the 23rd and 25th November. Could I ask year 11 teachers to send me confirmation of which tier they'd like their classes to do. If there are different tiers within the class, could you let me know who entered for which tier. Thanks.
Serco Bulletin
Just a reminder to keep checking the SERCO bulletin as the main source of whole-school communication.
KS3 Assessment
I'll email a copy of the success criteria for KS3 around this week. They are very much a first draft, but please be explicit with your KS3 classes in terms of the skills that are being addressed in each unit, and how they show progress / success.
Have a great week everyone,
Tom
