BORDEN GRAMMAR Welcome to the Year 10 Information Evening

BORDEN GRAMMAR A Four-Year Perspective The Nature of GCSE Controlled Assessment Enjoying and achieving Expectations at KS4 Post-16 Opportunities Aiming High

BORDEN GRAMMAR A Four-Year Perspective Progress and achievement now affect future choice. Good progress in Year 10 has a positive impact on choices and possibilities after GCSE. November: Sixth Form Open Evening for Year 11 pupils and their parents.

BORDEN GRAMMAR The Nature of GCSE Important to realise that two year examination courses need consistent good effort. Late sprint for the line does not work. Need to understand the whole picture and ‘the end game’

Controlled Conditions Assessments In some subjects Controlled Conditions Assessments replace coursework Assessments are undertaken during one or more lessons Preparation over a number of lessons beforehand. Conditions very similar to examinations Teacher is present, and is allowed to answer queries, students may not talk to each other

Rules for controlled assessments Rules about what materials and notes they may use during the writing up stage. May not complete work at home nor have access to the internet during the write-up These rules will be strictly applied. If pupils breach them they could be disqualified from a subject.

GCSE controlled assessments Absence causes difficulties If unwell, pupils can be supervised (probably in after school sessions) to make up the missing time. Clearly preferable that they complete the assignments immediately after the preparation work has been done in the preceding lessons.

BORDEN GRAMMAR Life in Key Stage Four Leap from Key Stage 3 Learning is continuous Looming deadlines
