2. Brave New Year
Hopefully all Serco issues, timetables, etc, have been resolved now. If not, please contact me/MST.
3. Exam/coursework performance
We are still trying to get some answers out of AQA about why our coursework performance was so much lower than our exam performance. Watch this space.
4. Performance Management
Following from Phil Waters's presentation on Performance Management during INSET, it would be helpful if staff were to look at the booklet Phil produced and thought about self-assessing their performance against the new teacher standards. It would also be worthwhile logging on to BlueSky to check all information there is accurate and to remind yourself of last year's targets.
5. Year 9 coursework
Please ensure ALL Year 9 coursework pieces (Creative Writing / Speaking and Listening presentation) are given to Danielle for her to pass on to new Year 10 teachers.
6. Year 7/8 folders
As above, please ensure all Year 7/8 folders from last year are passed onto Danille for her to pass on to new Year 8/9 teachers.
7. Year 7 spelling tests
If you teach Year 7, you should have the resources for the Year 7 spelling test. You need to deliver this test and return the scripts to Danielle by Thursday so that she can pass them onto the SEN department. You don't have to mark the tests, only run them - it should take about 20 mins.
8. Literacy word mats
There are still two class sets of these in my room. If you haven't got a set, please come and grab them.
Here's to a cracking year...
