ADMISSIONS STRATEGY
Admissions Strategy Timetable Years 9 - 11
Well organised independent study plans and guided tutorial sessions play a vital role achieving desired admissions objectives. It is important for students: to consolidate and reinforce skills, knowledge and understanding acquired in school lessons; to extend and enhance their learning skills; and to become more independent learners with a positive attitude towards learning.
The admissions strategy activities are set by tutors and student mentors. Daily study plan sessions are timetabled and objectives agreed to by tutor and student. The title of the tutorials studied and homework completed and when it is due will be noted each day. If parents wish to see the full record of study activities their child has engaged in, and when they are due, please ask them to show the Student Admission Strategy diaries, there is a student and tutor recording made. The tutorials that relate to their plan will be clearly labelled with their tutorial objectives laid out as well as a record of achievement. Generally, students will decide activities daily for their subjects and they will spend the final Tutor Session of the day completing them (excluding year 9). The time spent on admission strategy will most likely increase leading up to assessments to allow for extra revision in GCSE Years.
Students have been given admission strategy diaries to record their study and tutorials (an second record is taken by the student mentor), so they have everything in one place and also have it in school curriculum time should they need to note homework.
Feedback on this work is provided by students in several ways, including tutors also marking feedback and student assessment. Student diaries are monitored by the student tutor, this allows the students to make the maximum progress and stay on track with admissions strategy objectives.
On a Monday and Friday the Admissions Strategy Timetable ends for all years at 18.30 each evening.
