Developing confident, respectful and successful young people

At the start of their GCSE, each student is given a progress booklet that includes a range of PLC’s, revision tips, course overviews and progress tracker. Students are expected to engage with this in lessons and during revision in order to succeed in GCSE geography. Students will RAG rate lessons, ensure they have notes on the lessons and revisit lessons as part of this process.

Progress and support

If your child has questions, they can: 1. Find lessons on MS Teams2. Use insight to see their h/w3. Speak to the teacher during or after the lesson.

Examples of homework:

Homework will usually be completed as a physical piece of work. It’s desirable for students to access homework on a computer (mobile

apps often miss key points of the h/w)

Supporting your child1. Log into insight and see what homework they have. 2. Knowledge recall tests regularly happen in lessons, students should revise their previous lesson3. Encourage your children to discuss their geography work. 4. Lesson PowerPoints will be on MS Team. Especially for those students that are absent.
