Vision Looking to the future in terms of Curriculum, Learning

and Teaching

What kind of culture of learning do we need to create for our students?

The challenges we face...

• New qualifications with increased content

• Linear qualification with a need to be able to recall knowledge

taught 2 or more years earlier.

• We need students to be more independent than ever to succeed -

they have to nail their revision.

A5 Student Diaries

Knowledge Organiser Homework

Tutors will check that this task has been accomplished every Monday in tutor time.

Students should organise their time so that they cover the full set of subjects. Teachers will normally guide

students on which areas to focus.

Students should expect to be quizzed on the content of Knowledge Organisers on a weekly basis.

Students are encouraged to supplement their homework with other forms of subject revision including the

use of revision guides.

Reading

The ability to read quickly and accurately is becoming increasingly important as students face a more

challenging curriculum and tougher exams. In order to master new content and interpret questions

skilfully, our students must have strong literacy skills.

To help meet this challenge, we expect each student to read for at least 20 minutes every evening.

Form tutors, librarians and English department staff will be happy to give advice about what to read.

The benefits of regular reading can be seen across all curriculum areas. Regular readers are more

able to read at speed, develop a broader vocabulary, and construct organised and detailed written

responses.

Having learnt to read, our students need to read to learn. This homework will give them the skills to

do so confidently.

Maths

It is important that our students can see the role of mathematics in their daily lives. A good maths

education will provide our students with the tools to understand, analyse, critique, and take action

regarding important issues in our world.

In a world where technological advances are growing rapidly and tasks become more sophisticated,

Maths skills are becoming increasingly more important and are hugely sought after by employers.

To encourage student independence and problem solving skills, students will be required to engage

with 20 minutes of Maths every day, outside of school.

Students in Year 7, 8 and 9 will be set mymaths homework which will be checked by their maths

teacher.

Students in KS4 will be allocated grade booster packs, and at times, supplementary tasks such as

past papers, particularly in the lead up to exams.

Turn to todays page in your student planner and start your work. You need to bring your KOs and student planner with you EVERY DAY to school. Your parents should sign your student planner every evening to say you have completed your homework.Parents should also sign off your reading and maths using the reading /maths log page at the end of each week in your student planner.These will be checked by your tutor during registrations each week. Failure to complete homework will result in a xxxxx.You will also be tested in your lessons on knowledge from the organisers as part of the ‘Do Now’s’ and other assessments.

Presentation You should take pride in how you present your work. Complete the self testing section of your student planner every day. Write the subject in the space provided. There should be an appropriate amount of work.

Self-testing.You can use your KOs and student planner in a number of different ways but you should not just copy from the Knowledge Organiser into your planner. Use the ‘How to self-test with the Knowledge Organiser’ booklet you were given to help you. It can also be found here: www.brookvalegroby.com/students/knowledgeorganisers
