  1. Key Stage 4 Focus evening18 January 2017 From Mock Exams to GCSE’s Assessment Feedback Support

  2. 23 January Mock Exam Results report issued .. Although most students have most of their results already

  3. ENGLISH

  4. MATHS Teachers have gone through the mock exam paper highlighting common mistakes and how to improve Students have completed assessment review sheets looking at the number of  marks they achieved for each question and highlighting key areas for revision

  5. MUSIC Teachers have identified common concerns • Confident knowledge and use of key musical terms is top of the list • Students currently working on a controlled assessment, so working on mock exam feedback will happen after half-term • Compositions!

  6. GEOGRAPHY During the recent mock exams the students showed an overall weakness in producing Level 3 case study responses. There are 3 case study questions in the main exam paper (Key Geographical Themes – worth 50% of the course). Each case study question is worth 9 marks, plus 3 marks for spelling and grammar. • In order to address this Year 11 students are being set a case study revision task once a week for their homework. Each week they will revise/create a revision resource on a single case study and then be assessed on it in class. • Students were given a case study booklet (containing all the content they need for success in the summer) prior to their mock exams to help with case study revision.

  7. Assessment and feedback • Assessment will be either: • 1. Summative – eg: tests or reports • Right or wrong • Level attained • 2. Diagnostic – eg: feedback to assignments • Highlights strengths and weaknesses • Assessment refers to targets • Minimum target vs aspirational target • Specific guidance given about how to improve/refine/progress 6

  8. Responding to feedback Students are expected to act on feedback in order to improve a particular piece of work. Over time the process of refining work becomes a consistent working habit; students learn how to evaluate their own work and recognise common shortcomings. What does this look like?
