Vision
Our expectations ARE high. All lessons will encourage ASPIRATION,
instil RESPECT and help all pupils ENDEAVOUR to realise their full
potential, through developing a life-long love of learning.

5. • Assessment
Assessment should be used to provide feedback and direct or
modify our learning and teaching in lessons.
• Creativity
Allows us all to apply our knowledge and develop skills needed for
life outside of lessons.
• Engagement
We want you to focus more on what is being taught and enjoy
learning so that you can better process new information inside and
outside of lessons.
• Differentiation
We considers your needs for learning, as well as support, challenge
and extension for all students in every class

6. We believe that using the ACED framework will
allow you to be outstanding learners and inspired
students who achieve outstanding results. Three
questions, we ask teachers to consider when
planning and delivering lessons are:
1. Are all pupils being challenged?
2. Are all pupils making progress?
3. Are all pupils at least engaged and at best
inspired?

7. Q. What do we need from YOU?

8. 1. Be punctual
2. Wear full school uniform
3. Start on your ‘Do it now’ task without being asked
4. Take pride in the presentation of all of your work
5. Turn up with a full pencil case (including a green pen) for all lessons
6. Late students must knock and enter appropriately
7. Attempt all work with maximum effort.
8. Do not disrupt the learning of others
9. Students must not pack away until requested by the teacher and dismissed on time
using the classroom PC
10. Students stand behind chairs in silence before dismissal to check and ensure the
classroom is tidy
11. Students leave in an orderly fashion supervised by the teacher
12. Mobile phones must be switched of at all times (unless teacher permission has

Making your revision timetable

15. Setting out a revision timetable
Work on a 3:1:1 Ratio (for every 30 minutes of work you

16. Interleaving vs blocking
• “Blocking” your
revision – focusing on
one topic for a long
time then moving on
to the next topic – is
inefficient.
• “Interleaving” your
revision is far more
effective.

17. Part 2: Now we’ve planned what we are
going to do, what exactly do we need to do?

18. Flash Cards

20. Making an effective flashcard
• “Chunk” the learning down
• Each flashcard should be on one key
idea or concept
• The key information only should be
summarised on one side
• Use diagrams, bullet points etc.
• On the back, put key words and
possible exam questions on this
concept

21. Making a mind map
• Start with the theme in the middle
of the page.
• Develop your main idea.
• Each sub-branch must relate to the
branch before it.
• Use only key words and images.
• Key words must be written along the
branches.
• Colour code the branches.
• Make things stand out on the page
so they stand out in your mind.
• Design images you can relate to
which will help you remember key
information

22. Mind maps can be mostly text

23. Or mostly images
