Target groups yr 10 and 11

I have set up lists of target groups for pupils in year 10 and 11. These will be in your pigeon holes. The target groups in year 11 are for coursework and exam performance. In year 10 it is how 0.5 of a level below their SAT FFT prediction. When they have done 21st Century exams this can be factored in as well.
Please read through the target groups carefully and make a note of the ones in your classes. Please encourage them with coursework and exam revision.

Reminder (yr 11)

Please could you let me know when you are doing your investigations with year 11.
I need written dates you can email bccscience@gmail.com.
Monday the 12th of January will be a strategy meeting in coursework marking.
Please chase up CASE studies in year 11. Let me know if the students are not doing them and we can work with Mark to chase this up.
