Welcome and Introductions
DMS
Excellence as standard
Schools are a people business. The inner belief and commitment to realising excellence by those who lead schools is the starting point. At its beating heart the excellent school is a place where people care more then others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible.

• GCSE mathematics will provide greater coverage and be more challenging for those aiming to achieve top grades.
• GCSE English Language will require higher level reading skills and good, accurate written English, which will better prepare students for further study and work.
• GCSE English Literature will encourage students to read, write and think critically; it will assess students on challenging and substantial whole texts and on shorter unseen texts.
• Most GCSE examinations will be un-tiered, only GCSE Mathematics examinations will continue to be tiered.

CodesThe report shows students’ attitude to learning in lessons. In order to be more specific, ‘attitude to learning’ is split into three key focus areas: Effort, Behaviour and Homework.
O – Outstanding, the highest standards always met.
G – Good, standards good much of the time, but occasional inconsistencies leave room for improvement.
I – Inconsistent, Standards are variable, unsatisfactory as often as satisfactory. This adversely affects progress.
U - Unsatisfactory – standards are very inconsistent and often unacceptable. This is having a major impact on progress.

The PiXL Edge
AD
The PiXL Edge has been designed for schools as a means of accrediting and developing those key personal attributes, that are desired by both employers and higher education establishments.
The five attributes are:
1. Leadership 2. Organisation 3. Initiative 4. Resilience 5. Communication
The PiXL Edge
AD
The students have been enrolled onto the programme at the apprentice level, once this has been completed the students will automatically move onto the graduate programme.
Students will qualify at three levels:
Level 1: PiXL Apprentice (Year 7)Level 2: PiXL Graduate (Year 10)Level 3: PiXL Master (Year 12)
The students will be instructed on how to log their achievements online. Parents will also be able to access the PiXL Edge system and view what progress has been made.
Mr Matthew Bell: PiXL Co-ordinator

Why are we doing this?
• We want to reward the students for demonstrating the key attributes that are not always apparent in their traditional lessons.
• We want the students to develop those key ‘life’ skills that future employers and universities will look for.
• We want to find ways for the students to enrich their studies outside of the classroom, to fulfil their potential and be successful.
