Determination “ possessing or displaying resolve”
Ensuring students are determined Setting goals Developing strategies Playing to our strengths Being flexible and realistic Learn from failure Be positive
Resilience I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work American inventor, Thomas Edison
Why do we need resilience? At some point throughout the next 3 years, something will probably go wrong Something may not have gone to plan School life and home life will present some challenges and obstacles Some things will change. E.g friends, teachers, classes
Building resilience Positive attitudes Embracing change Learn from mistakes Seek help and support Work towards your goals Be a person of action
Success Success for our students will come in many different forms. Academic Grades Skills Opportunities As a college we are here to support your child succeed, in whatever form that may be
Success All three must work together to ensure success, if you remove one we are weaker than having all three links
School We will always give your child the support they need to achieve their goals Careers and Guidance PSHE ICT and Homework facilities Enhancement Pastoral and emotional support
Parents/ Carers Support at home through Homework Organisation Helping with strategies Encourage school/ social life balance

Year 9 English A foundation for GCSE English Language and English Literature
GCSE English Language and English Literature – what we know… Many changes to the English curriculum reported in the news over the last two years in particular Introduction of the new ‘Gove’ style exam Year 9 will be the first year group to take this new style GCSE examination in 2017 So, what does this mean for my child?
GCSE English Examination in 2017 Key Changes The removal of coursework 100% examination No tiers (Foundation or Higher) Unseen passages to read (Pre 1914) Expected to be able to compare and make links with their own reading Students will be given a number (1-9 scale) Just 3% of GCSE papers will be awarded the prestigious Grade 9 (A*) Grade 1 will be aligned with current Grade G
The Examination Boards All examination boards are now issuing draft specifications (Syllabus) They are designed to be taught from September 2015 The decision about the syllabus we will teach at Crestwood is under discussion with the English Department to ensure we get the specification that would best suit the needs of our students How will we prepare our students in year 9?
Our Aim in English To create independent and resilient students who can tackle any text or task with confidence To explore a wide range of different texts from different genres and times To ensure students can express themselves concisely and accurately through well structured writing To employ sentence structure, punctuation and spelling accurately and for effect
