GCSE Modular & Linear Update   It will still be possible to enter pupils before the end of Key Stage 4   Edexcel, OCR will be offering March 2013 entry (2010 specification)   November re-sits will be available (Mathematics & English only)   Students will be allowed to re-sit linear GCSEs as many times as they like or need to - there will be no limit. The best grade students achieve will count.

7. Points for Consideration   June 2012   Nov 2012   March 2013 (Ed, OCR)   June 2013   ….? Who will be entered? For what? When will you move to linear? SoW – where next?

8. Ofsted   Satisfactory is no longer good enough   New subject specific guidance for January 2012, no changes in Teaching and Learning (except for inadequate)   If achievement grade is inadequate, then overall effectiveness will be inadequate   Curriculum now sits under Leadership and Management

9. Achievement   Greater focus on how schools are narrowing gaps in attainment and progress between different groups of pupils and all pupils nationally   Achievement of different groups of pupils, including those with disabilities and special needs remains at the heart of the judgement   Learning and progress are key drivers of achievement, and will be considered together with attainment
