The new GCSE’s are linear, more extended writing tasksIncreased emphasis on spelling, punctuation and grammar including the use of vocabulary.The new English Language GCSE will encourage students to read a greater range of high quality, challenging literature and non-fiction text from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.Entirely assessed by external examination.

Tiering in Maths but not in EnglishIncreased Maths content defined by the DfE as areas such as calculation, ratio and proportion. Assessments place more emphasis on reasoning and problem solving

For new GCSEs:

No qualification can count for more than one GCSE

Encourages students to take a broad set of eight qualifications rather than current minimum 5.

Estimates, Predictions and Targets

Communication, and getting parents into school, is key

Asking parents to be involved in their children's education is not just a 'nice idea' WE CAN’T DO THIS JOB WITHOUT YOUR HELP.

Time children spend at home vs. at school (birth to Leaving Secondary Education) 15% at school, 85% home and other.

Addressing parents on the importance of supporting their child’s learning as part of information sessions.Discuss with parents specific things they can do to help their children.

● Involve parents in homework (Planners), creating an opportunity for discussion and reinforcing high expectations; this will help to raise awareness of what children are doing at school. ● Exercise books and Revision Guides ● Ensure parents know that information is being sent home. One sheet of paper is best. 80% of the people will spend just 30 seconds reading what is sent home.

17 days off in a year (over 90% attendance) leads to an average drop of a full grade for each GCSE subject.

How is ‘Progress8’ calculated?

• Based on Points Score calculation:

Progress 8 measures in 2016 will change from the current 16-58 scale [A*-G] to a 8-1 point scale

If a pupil has not taken the maximum number of qualifications that count in each group then they will receive a point score of zero for that empty slot

How is the school’s performance calculated in ‘Progress8’?:

Progress 8 (School) = +0.6 ie approx 0.5 grades above per subject above average against National
