Year 11 Mathematics Support

As we continue to prepare students for their upcoming assessments and examinations, we would like to outline the support and expectations that will be in place for all students in Mathematics.

From this term, students will complete exam-style practice questions in class every week. These questions are designed to build confidence, develop exam technique, and help students become familiar with the style and format of GCSE examination questions.

In addition, homework will be set every week for all classes. This homework will consist of exam-style questions. Students are expected to have a go at all questions and can use their books or revision guides to help them. Any unfinished work should be completed as part of their independent study.

Students have also been provided with a revision checklist that identifies the topics they should be revising. We expect students to engage with this revision each week and record evidence of their revision activities in their Morning Meeting Book.

Thursday will be our designated homework and revision check day. On this day:

• New homework will be issued.
• Homework completed from the previous week will be checked and reviewed.
• Students’ revision records in their Morning Meeting Books will be checked to ensure they are engaging with regular independent study.

Regular practice and revision are essential for examination success, and we appreciate your support in encouraging your child to complete their homework and revision each week.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Tracey Greenhalgh, Faculty Leader of Mathematics or your child’s teacher.
