Challenges? • We are now in a ‘Zero sum’ environment • 3 levels of progress is an average….less able students tend to make less progress • Boundaries have been raised • No retakes impacts on middle ability • Coursework change impacts on weaker students • No comparisons to previous years • Ebacc will make more difficult for less able

Home Learning – parent role • Talk about home learning • Create the right place to do it • Encourage to check and do it early on • Check planners • Check ‘show my homework’ • Communicate with teachers • Support the punishment where relevant!
Positives for both year groups • Drop down days • Rewards • After school sessions • Study plans • Revision guidance • Holiday sessions • Coaching by more experienced staff (SLT)
