Higher Tier for GCSE Maths
The goal posts keep moving
The scores for each student went up on average 10% from November 2021 to June 2022
01
We need to try something different
The team looked back at a speaker from the 2019 ME plus conference.
02
Students were losing faith
We needed to give them another focus/challenge
03
Although the students' GCSE marks increased, the number of high grades reduced!
In November 2021 the Pass mark across all three foundation papers was 106...in summer 2022 the pass mark was raised to 135

Scores for each student continued to climb

Increase the number of students sitting the higher tier.
Look at the students who were a few marks off in summer but continued to improve their scores.
Implementation
All learners were entered for the November exams.
Vision
Stream Classes
All higher students would have at least 1 session a week that was just higher
Assess the results
Those learners who got a U on higher would be removed and placed back on foundation but for those with a 3 go on to do higher in the summer.
Give them the exam experience
Gauge if the right people were on the correct tier.

Positive Outcomes
There have already been some positive outcomes this year.
Keep climbing that higher ladder.
What is next?
Plan Revision for the Holidays
Make sure specific higher revision is booked in over Easter and May half Term.
Mocks
Assess the higher mocks carefully to see which gaps they need to concentrate on.
Make some higher revision videos
Share them with the learners via the higher channel on Teams.
Update
The students this year had very different problems and a different set of support needs.
Two of the higher tier students missed one exam and three of them started therapy in the latter stages of the year, when they found college work challenging. We did not want to derail the students and so we encouraged them with the offer of extra one to one sessions where they felt safe and supported.
A great presentation is clear and structured
