Student Progress Report 1
Assessment advice for Year 11 parents and students
by Scott Thomas Assistant Principal KS4 Raising Standards
November 2016
Dear Parents / Carers Re: Up-coming Assessment weeks Key Stage 4 (Years 10-11). I am writing to give you advanced notice about the assessment weeks that are coming up for your son/daughter in all subject areas. These will be between the week of the 5th December and the week of the 12th December. The assessments will be marked and Dedicated Improvement Time (DIT) will be provided in the week of the 16th January 2016. This means that students will be able to work on the targets that they have been provided with by their teacher to improve their learning on their original assessments. In support of the assessment weeks a number of things will be provided by the school:
1. An Assessment Manifest (this explains what students need to revise). 2. Dedicated class revision time. 3. Homework revision will be set.
We also ask that you can support your son/daughter by making sure that they have received the support that has been identified above. It is imperative that your son/daughter is well prepared for their assessments so that they can perform their very best. All assessments link to our intervention programme which has proven to be highly successful in raising student’s grades throughout the year. I would like to take the opportunity to thank you again for supporting the school in raising your child’s attainment
still further. If there is any way we can support your son/daughter further with their assessment preparation please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Stephen the Head of years 10-11 on [email protected] or myself on [email protected].
Yours faithfully
Scott Thomas Assistant Principal KS4 Raising Standards

Revision Tips for Year 11 students Introduction Getting ready for Assessments is an important thing to do – there is nothing worse than arriving unprepared as this will only make you more anxious. These tips are designed to help you get ready for assessments with minimum stress and maximum success. It is essential to remember – everyone can experience success at assessments, especially if they are well prepared and determined to do their very best. If you have any questions about how to best prepare for your assessments, please contact us.
1. 100% Attendance – Give yourself the very best chance of success, by avoiding taking
unnecessary time off school and making sure you are at your very best during school time.
Keep as up to date in your classwork as you can and make sure you complete every home
work to the very best of your ability.
2. Be equipped and work smart – make sure you have a place set aside at home for study, a desk preferably and good seating and lighting. It is best to keep a list of the homework you have to do and the revision you would like to do from now on. It is never too early to revise. Go back over work you did not understand in class. Use your new maths text books to help you and for all other subjects use your revision guides.
3. Make sure your Homework gets your very best attention – homework is essential to help you consolidate the learning you have done in lessons and is also designed to fill learning gaps. “Flipped learning” is used sometimes where you will find you are learning new information and skills. You should always aim to produce your very best work as your homework, take care and pride over the presentation and once you have the feedback from your teacher, make sure you read the advice, respond during DIT and act on the advice given.
Some specific tips to help you: Make sure you train yourself now to eat well, sleep well, rest and do some exercise. You must
make sure your body is well prepared for the exams. This means getting used to eating breakfast now if you do not already. Sleep properly without distractions – turn off your music, put your phone away, do not have your TV on in your bedroom. Take some exercise if it is only a walk to get fresh air and exercise, but you must keep healthy. And most importantly do not use energy drinks and excessive amounts of caffeine to help you study; they are not good for you and will do you more harm than good.
Give up some of the things that are getting in the way of you doing really well. Postpone watching
soaps and playing on your game stations until all your homework is done to the best of your ability
and you have done some revision as well.
Some more tips to help you:
Use quick quizzing and subject knowledge organisers.
Use cue cards with questions and answers on.
Use diagrams and flow charts to help you.
Use lots of colour when revising, highlighters and different colour pens.
Do not revise with the TV on
Take regular breaks – revision is like dieting, little and often works best.
Reward yourself every 20-30 minutes with a snack and a drink.
Ask your teachers about which websites and Apps are helpful, but use these sparingly, best to
revise using books, pens and papers.
To help remember lists, use a mnemonic to help you eg. PEE point evidence explanation.
If you find it easier, try listening to podcasts or recording your notes on your phone and listen
back to them.
Above all, START now, and keep at it. Talk to your teachers, do lots of question practice, try lots
of methods to see which suits you best and give it your very best shot.
