slide7. Required practical There are required practical experiments to complete for both options
18 required practical activities for Combined (6 for each science)
6 for Biology
6 for Chemistry
6 for Physics
These are completed in school however there is opportunity for students to revise them through virtual experiments online

slide8. Y9 Baseline assessments Each student will completed a baseline assessment
This assessment will help us understand if the student is ready for KS4 or not
We will use the data to provide support to students which are not ready for KS4
We will use the data to identify areas for development in terms of scientific skills and aptitude.<br>
slide9. Examination tier<br>
slide10. How can you help? Encourage them to use the resources we have outlined in the letter to you
It is important they are completing exam questions as this is best practice for them
Physics and Maths tutors
Tassomai
CGP revision guide
Cognito Science videos
Support them to practice the use of equations for all 3 subjects.
YES! they do need calculators for all 3 Science examinations<br>
slide11. Progress folders & PLC – personalised learning checklist Students will receive these at the beginning of each topic
These are to review the topic students are learning
Students will check that they have notes for each section of topic
PLC follows the Pearson Edexcel specification
Students use these to identify weaknesses and strengths
Students can highlight areas to focus on for revision<br>
slide12. GCSE homework, VLE and online resources All Y10s and Y11s are given online homework on “Tassomai”. Please support your child by encouraging them to complete their 4 daily goals regularly during each week.
You can find online links to resources that would be very useful to students in their preparation are in your leaflets provided and on our website
We are looking into offered discounted prices on student revision workbooks which can be purchased online via parent mail.<br>
