Upper School | 2020-21
In the Upper School, we prepare our young people for life and
study at GCSE level and beyond, by providing a comprehensive
and challenging curriculum, passionate and responsive teaching,
and a range of enriching opportunities within school and the
wider community.
We develop effective learners, who overcome barriers with
resilience and self-discipline, and who pursue mastery with
curiosity and determination.Mrs Lucy Browne Head of Year 11

Header What are we working towards?
Header This half term we need to support and build up our students…
Header A continual reminder…
Header Journey to success…
Header The Rosebery Way 1. All members of our community are shown the level of respect and kindness that we would expect for a member of our family. 2. High expectations are never set by creating a fear of failure; they are set by demonstrating belief in each other’s ability to achieve. 3. Members of our community who do not meet our expectations are supported to help them to do so. 4. We never ask anyone to do anything that we would not be prepared to do ourselves. 5. We act with integrity by doing the right thing whether or not anyone is watching.
Header In Year 11 we continue to strive toward…
Reminding students they are resilient
Header This year, more than ever … wellbeing

Two separate qualifications, each Changes to the 2021 exams -what we know:
• The language exams will not change
with 2 exams in summer 2021. • In literature students will only have to answer questions
on 3 out of the 4 content areas we teach – more on this
No coursework or controlled in a moment
• Our students are in an excellent position for their final
assessments. exams – they worked hard over the lockdown period,
they have come back with exceptional focus and they
have already covered the majority of the course
No tiers – all students sit the same content. This allows us to make informed choices about
papers where grades 1-9 are available the exams to maximise their chancesCourse content: Literature
Students are required to answer questions on a
Shakespeare text and the poetry (both anthology
and unseen) - luckily our previous results show
that our students do the best on these sections.
We must also choose one other section from
either the 19th century novel or the modern text
(An Inspector Calls).
We will use the data from the November mocks to
support us in selecting the text option that we
feel gives students the best possible chance for
success.
Once this decision has been made, we will ensure
that this is communicated with our students and
with you.Course content: Language
Speaking and listening will be reported as
a separate grade. This does not count
towards the qualification but must be
completed as a requirement.How will they be assessed?

minute revision tasks – they could start this with their 19th Century novel in
preparation for their mocks in December
• Mixed practice e.g. revising a topic from last week, last month, last term, last year
• Make new connections eg linking themes and characters in new ways, using mind-
mapping
• Recalling at speed eg being quizzed by a classmate, using a knowledge organiser
• Use things that are easily remembered e.g. turning notes into song lyrics or imagesThe Department Revision Guide • Each task is designed to
take 20-30 minutes.
• Choose 2-3 tasks in a one
hour revision slot.
• Aim for the highest level of
challenge you can and
choose tasks from different
texts to allow for spaced
practice.
• The support section is
designed to boost your core
knowledge of the text, best
for when you are just
starting revision of a text.
• Develop encourages a
more analytical focus on

‘Studies have measured readers’ tolerance of unfamiliar
vocabulary, and have estimated that readers need to know
about 98 per cent of the words for comfortable
comprehension.’
Daniel Willingham
• Word of the day app
• Creating vocabulary banks for common topics to write about (the weather, a re-usable
character, settings, topical issues)
• Weekly reading – short stories (try the BBC young critics award audiobooks online), engaging
non-fiction articles (I recommend Dolly Alderton, Caitlin Moran and Charlie Brooker)
• Keeping up to date with topical issues and ‘big ideas’ and discussing their opinions on them
• Using the department revision bookletSome recommendations

remember a calculator is needed for two thirds of your GCSE!
For some lessons the teacher may also ask for the following:
➢ A pair of compasses
➢ ProtractorWhere can students turn for support? • Ask as many questions as possible in lesson • Email their maths teachers to arrange an appointment

content in each Science
coveredSeparate Science • Due to the challenging nature of the separate science course it is important that this is suitable for the students following this pathway. • The pace of the work in lessons is quicker and there will be more content to revise in preparation. • The mocks will be used to give an indication to us of suitability to follow the separate science course. As a guide we would expect students on this course to be usually achieving a grade 6+ in the paper 1 mocks. • Any concerns following the results will be raised with both the student and yourselves.
Mocks and Homework • The first set of mocks will cover paper 1 content only. • Each week leading up to the mocks students are being set a specific revision task to complete in order to prepare them for this (set through Google Classroom). • Extra support and revision materials are available on the Science Google Site.
