What skills do employers desire?
CBI: Confederation of British Industry.
First Steps report
What is it that small, medium and large companies need young people to bring with them into the world of work? – that’s not just exam results. ‘It’s actually about the characteristics, values and habits that last a lifetime. Businesses thrive working with young people who are determined, optimistic and emotionally intelligent,’ so the education system must focus on ‘helping them to be rigorous, rounded and grounded.

Stop and think about it for a
minute….
Remember it’s OK to
start again.
Close your eyes and try to see what you are
aiming for.
Have you asked for advice from your peers? What do
they think?
How are you looking at things differently now?
Try breaking the task down into
smaller sections.
Don’t be afraid to walk away
and come back to it later
What’s your goal, and how will you know if you have
achieved it?
Build in moments
when you can review what you’ve done?

FAQs
• My child doesn’t appear to have much IL. IL is set regularly – check SMHK and contact your child’s teacher • My child appears to have stuck on Level 5. The change up a gear in texts and greater focus on some AFs often give the appearance that your child has stalled; don’t worry, they are honing the skills learned in Primary school. Very often the largest leaps in levels happens in Year 9. • My child seems to have stopped reading. This is quite common when starting secondary schools with the increase in subjects studied. All pupils are encouraged to read independently but be reassured that they will read at least three novels/set of short stories and a Shakespeare play every year in Key Stage 3 • My child seems to do most of the work on a computer. As an e-learning school we believe in the value of using up-to-date technology going hand-in-hand with further developing the necessary skills of writing by hand therefore we expect a number of the assessments (and all the Reading Comprehensions) to be done by hand.

What does this mean for you?
• Support their reading – check Accelerated Reader on-line • Look at Show My Homework - regularly • Support them with IL – but don’t do it for them • Keep in contact! • If they let you - read their work to see what they are doing and comment in the
student’s exercise books • Be sure they have the correct equipment
– Children will need a fountain pen/biro( blue or black and red), colouring pencils, highlighters, a ruler, and an eraser. A pocket dictionary and/or thesaurus will also be very helpful.
