The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Parent Forum - Ryedale School - December 5th 2017
1. This Forum is not….
• The place to raise questions/make comment about individual
members of staff
• The place to discuss a specific incident or dissatisfaction with the
school’s response to a specific incident relating to your child
• The place to make personal, accusatory or unprofessional remarks
relating to any of the information discussed
2. The Purpose of this Forum is….
• To ensure parents understand the rationale leading to key curriculum
and organisational decisions
• To facilitate positive communication between parents and the school
in an environment based on mutual respect
• To provide parents with the opportunity to raise questions with the
leadership team of the school
5. Communication with Parents
Whole School Priority for 2017-18
• Individual year group presentations in September have set up communication for
the year, key staff to contact etc.
• Subject overviews have been shared with parents at the start of the term
(subsequent overviews to be emailed).
• KS4 Progress Tracking Reports increased to 6x per year.
• Termly feedback on assessment in all subject areas is signposted for parents in
student books with an orange sticker.
• Feedback?
9. There are four ‘Reasons for
Concern’:
• Behaviour
• Engagement
• Homework/Coursework
• Organisation
10. • If your child continues on
their current path, these are
the GCSE results they will
achieve
11. • Takes KS2 data for all pupils in the country
• Tracks how the students do in their GCSE
examinations
• It then works out the average GCSE result
for every KS2 grade
• We call it ‘Expected Progress’
• These grades are not targets as they not
challenging enough in most cases.
12. • Consider your child as an individual not a
data point
• We aim very high - aspirational but
possible

C/D borderline students are vital
• A B grade student getting an A*?
• An A* student getting a B?
Just enter English Language,
that way you don’t have to
teach them difficult books
When? If they can get a C in
year 9, why not? How many
goes? Keep trying!
BTecs regarded as easier
than GCSEs: Top set doing a
level 2 in nail technology
services? Worth 2 GCSEs.
Horse care? 4 GCSEs.
19. Abandoned because:
• Too easy to ‘game’
• Measures attainment (intake) not progress
• Creates perverse incentives that damage
education
20.
21. • Put her into exams a year early to get
the passes in the bag (this can reduce
stress and workload)
• It doesn’t matter if she gets a B when
she could have scored an A*
• Do a range of vocational subjects
because you have the staffing in
place, she enjoys it, and the grades
count to league tables
• She can no longer access a highly
selective university
22. • He makes super strides in a range of
academic subjects
• He smashes his estimated grades,
which were mostly Bs
• He gets 10 A*s
• His ‘data’ can be matched by a C in
English Language, maths, and a BTec
in horse care
26. Calculating Andrea’s Attainment 8 score

English Literature: 7
Maths: 4
Geography: 5
Core Science: 6
Additional Science: 6
English Language: 4
Music: 5
Art: 6
• To produce the Attainment 8 score, these grades are first added
together.
• Maths is double weighted. In Andrea’s case, English Literature is also
double weighted since she has also taken English Language.
• The resultant score (in this case, 54) is then divided by 10 (the 8
subjects, plus the double weighting of English and Maths.)
• This example student has therefore achieved an Attainment 8 score of
5.4
(8+14+6+6+5+6+4) / 10 = 5.4
Maths: 8
English Literature: 14
27. • Will sit exams at the end of year 11
• Will ‘fill all the buckets’
• Will be able to attend a selective
university
28. • Will get an incredible Progress 8 score
• The school will rightly go up the
league tables
