Year 10 thinking.

We are thinking of doing the additional science coursework and teaching B5 to year 10 after the exams. The lowest two groups will do Biology.

Mondays Strategy meeting.

There is a lot of concern that most of us are behind in teaching year 11. Due to this we need to do something really fast.
During Mondays strategy meeting we will be working in pairs to look at various modules. The aim of this is to reduce the number of lessons to a minimum. The following pairs will look at the following coursework.

PL/AMA > P6
KS/ARA > B6
GL/LH > C6
JRO > revision package.

So please meet up with the person you are working with on Monday and look at the material and get it to me by Monday 10th March

Year 11 resubmissions

Please ask your year 11 group how close they are in rewriting the core coursework. If they want some resubmitted we need to take it in and mark it very soon. If they have been lazy and not done anything and we need to withdraw them. We need to do this by the 17th March.
I will put lists in your pigeon hole of those who have entered for resubmission. If you want them withdrawn cross out the names and let me have it by the 12th of March at the latest.

coursework info

Exam results should be in on Thursday 6th of March. Science staff are going to hand them out. Please do not hand them to pupils until the last 5 minutes of the lesson.

The last date for changing entries is 17th of March. So if you want any to be re-entered they need to be done before this date.
