AREAS TO IMPROVE
Your terminology from question 1 is missing eg Sats, Attainment targets
It is not clear which key stage you have focussed on for your detailed description. Please always read the
questions very carefully.
Your strategies are school strategies and not national/government strategies for learning. Also it is
unclear which of the two activities is for your focus extra curricular activity, again please read the
question carefully.
I would have liked to have seen your research for the job description
Please remember to show exactly where the quotes are with speech marks at the beginning and end of
the actual wording. You have a long bibliography however very few quotes within the assignment. Quotes
and literature sources should match and if you did not use quotes in the body of your assignment you
don’t need that literature source in your bibliography.

Unit guidance notes are available if student requests them
Tutor support as required.
Well done Andreia, your work is improving. To improve your grade and you should clearly indicate where any quotes
