This booklet has been collated by all of the departments in the school to
help you and your student with understanding the term ahead. Through

Topics being studied this term
This should provide you with an opportunity to know what topic areas students will cover. With this in mind it can be useful to find out about these topics ahead of time.
The lists provided will be for the whole year group so students are to double check which order they will be studied in when they receive this booklet.
Key Terms
These key terms will be important for your student to understand and be able to use so please work with them to look these terms up.
Once these terms are understood see if your student can use them in sentences.
Useful websites for further information gathering.
