Year 11 Information
Your child is now of the final part of their journey with us at Rodborough. This year students will make decisions regarding their steps, be it college, apprenticeships or finding employment. It is a crucial time for students and the next few months provide students with the opportunities for them to reach their potential in their final examinations and gain the qualifications they need to progress to the next stage and fulfil their ambitions. Year 11 is an important year and hopefully the Year 11 Information Evening provides you with the necessary information for you and your child on how to achieve the best outcomes in August. Resilience, hard work and dedication are key to success not just this year but for the future as well.
All key information for the year will be posted here, including exam timetables and information about the Prom.

GCSE TIMETABLE
Retrieval Sessions
Booster Support
As we announced at the Parent Information Evening on Tuesday evening, for the next six school weeks we are going to give some Year 11 students some targeted booster support during tutor time.
From Monday 16th September, students will go to a different room at tutor time to receive a bespoke programme based upon their current needs in English, Maths and Science. The aim of these sessions is to give the students some extra confidence to have success in their forthcoming mocks.
These sessions are timetabled on your son or daughter’s Arbor timetable.
In English Mrs Sinclair will be working with a small group of students who have gaps in their knowledge of the set texts. Mr Venton and Mrs Chambers will be working with students on their English Language to help secure them a Grade 4.
Mr Griffiths will be working with another group of students to boost them towards grade 4 in Maths, whilst Mrs Bradburne will be working with students who are not yet reaching a grade 7 in Maths.
Finally in Science Mr Heslop will be working with students in Combined Science to achieve a grade 4, whilst Mr Ibbs will be working with students doing Separate Sciences to reach for grades 7-9.
The curriculum area leaders have spent some time since the Year 10 mocks identifying which students would best benefit from this booster programme at this time.
There are some students who at the moment, we do not think it is appropriate for them to be in one of these groups. These students will be in two tutor groups run by Mr Toombs and Miss Sutton. They will follow a bespoke programme around motivation and retrieval practice.
The programme will run for 6 weeks up until the mock exams. Once the mock results are in, we will analyse the results, see how effective the booster programme has been, discuss it with you as parents and students to see how effective you think it has been. Then we will consider whether we will replicate it again in different formats with different groups or subjects in the Spring term.
This will not replace the Rodborough practice of revision sessions after school before the mock exams. These revision sessions will start three weeks before the mock exam, so that it is a short, focused period. And there will be sessions for all subjects.We will write with further details about these sessions in the next couple of weeks.
Please ask your son or daughter to check their Arbor timetable to see where they should go on Monday morning.
