KS3
Years 7, 8 & 9
As you can see from each of the yearly overviews, each term is split into topics and each topic is further split into small steps. Details of the small steps and the examples we use in class, can be found by clicking the Autumn / Spring / Summer term links below each of the relevant yearly overviews.
To help the pupils with their learning, White Rose Maths have made a video for each of the small steps in Years 7, 8 & 9. You can find the videos by clicking this link.
If you wish to purchase OPTIONAL workbooks for your child to use both in school and at home you can buy them directly from the White Rose Maths website by following this link.
Pupils will be given, or asked to complete, a topic knowledge organiser which summarises the key points, keywords and their definitions. By the end of each topic pupils should have a completed knowledge organiser, that they will use for revision of future assessments. Homework allows pupils to rehearse content learned at home and helps them to recall and use facts and methods, with increasing speed and accuracy, committing core knowledge into their long-term memory. It also allows misconceptions to be highlighted through independent work and rectified with help from the class teacher. For homework, pupils will log-in to eedi.com to read any feedback from their teacher and then, use this feedback to complete the new work set.
Assessments for each topic will follow 1-2 weeks after the completion of each topic, leaving space after the teaching, to enhance the retrieval and learning of the skills and knowledge. There will also be termly-assessments which will cover the accumulation of topics up to that point.
For pupils wishing to do some pre-learning or overlearning the video link and worksheets for each topic can be accessed on classcharts, using the pupils’ log-ins. We are unable to post the worksheets directly on the school website, as they are a purchased resource from White Rose Maths.

Pupils in Y10 and 11 will also be given past exam paper questions to complete at home, to allow them to become familiar with their style.
Assessments for each topic will follow 1-2 weeks after the completion of each topic, leaving space after the teaching, to enhance the retrieval and learning of the skills and knowledge. There will also be termly-assessments which will cover the accumulation of topics up to that point and mock-exams as set out on the school calendar.

Pupils are entered for the 9-1 OCR maths GCSE examinations, which covers all aspects of number, algebra, geometry, statistics, probability, ratio, proportion and rates of change. The exam consists of 3 x 90-minute papers, with questions from any of the topic areas in maths. The second paper is non-calculator and papers 1 and 3 are calculator allowed.
Pupils will take either the higher or foundation tier examinations in the summer term of Year 11. Grades 1-5 are available on the foundation tier and 4-9 on the higher tier. The decision for GCSE tier entry is made on an individual basis after careful monitoring and discussions between each class teacher and each pupil. Classwork, homework, assessment and mock examination results are all considered.
