Little Lever School

Our Year 11 Steps-to-Success programme supports students in becoming effective and successful students and leave school with the best possible outcomes, skills, knowledge and confidence to move onto the next stage of their learning journey.

We want to provide you with clarity and guidance on how Little Lever School is supporting students in these final weeks in school in readiness for their February mock exams and summer GCSE exams.

The content below will be updated on a regular basis as to what is happening in school each week. You will be informed as to when new content is added by text message.

What We Did in the Autumn Term

English, Maths & Science Boost
Students receive an additional three 95-minute lessons of English, Maths or Science each week based on the which subject they need more time and support in. These are reviewed on a regular basis in RAG Meetings by the Leaders of these subjects, Pastoral staff and Senior Leaders. Students can move Boost classes if we feel they have made good progress and need further support in another subject.

For example, a student may be in English Boost and have three lessons of that each week. At a RAG meeting, if feedback and data is showing improvements in English but may need support in Science, their Boost lessons will switch the next day to Science and a new timetable will be issued to the student that morning.

Parents/carers can view on their SIM Parent app which Boost class their child currently attends.
English, Maths and Science Subject Forms
Students are also placed in morning form classes which are lead by English, Maths and Science Form Tutors. Year 11 start school early at 8.30am and have a 45 minute PREP time to study our Life Chances curriculum and also receive additional teaching time and learning in the Core Subjects. Subject Forms are also reviewed in the English, Maths and Science RAG meeting and students can move forms after a certain time so they recieve additional time with an English, Maths and Science teacher each morning.
Option Subject Boost
In a similar way to the English, Maths and Science Boost, Option Subjects also have Boost sessions which take place on Mondays and Tuesdays each week, starting at 2.45pm to 3.30pm. Each half term, Option Subject Leaders, Pastoral staff and Senior Leaders and a Progress RAG meeting looking at feedback and data on which students need support in one of their three option subjects.

For example, a student who studies Geography, Art and Media may attend Geography Option Subject Boost sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays for half a term as they require additional time and support there and then switch to Media Boost sessions in the next half term as they have made good progress in Geography but require further support in Media.
November Mock Exams
Students have already sat and experienced a set of mock exams in all subjects in the Autumn term. The results of these mock are used to inform what areas need to be revisited in lessons and which subjects they should attend in Boost and Subject Forms.

Students received their mock exam results in an assembly structured to give them a taste of what Results Day feels like. Senior staff and their form tutors were on hand to provide guidance on what to do next when they opened their results.

If the government decides to move to TAGs (Teacher Assessed Grades) again this year, the mock exams will form a part of the rationale of awarding grades in the summer.

Waht We Did in the Spring Term

Science Boost
Science are running an additional Boost session every Thursday in the first half of the Spring Term in the run up to the February mock exams from 2.45pm to 3.30pm. This will appear on your SIMS Parent app timetable.
Nightclub
Nightclub is an after-school club where students can work on their retrieval practice or personal study in school in a quiet and peaceful space, particularly for those students who might not be able to do this due to their home situation. We provide free refreshments for those who stay.

Here is the basic structure of NIGHTCLUB.

• Starts 2.45pm to 4.30pm
• Hosted in an IT based room (A2 on Mondays & Tuesdays and C1 on Thursdays & Fridays) so students can access Google Classroom and other online learning as well as do handwritten work
• Register taken to track attendance for rewards and for safeguarding
• Perfect Climate lesson protocols apply
• Uniform must be worn, no coats, use of phones is not permitted
• Food order taken at the start and delivered to the room at 3.30pm.

Pre-Exam Classes, All-Inclusives, Walking Talking Mocks Calendar

Throughout this term and the next, subject teams will be offering additional intervention classes to support students on specific topics or areas which require greater depth and time.

Pre-Exam Classes

These run before a mock exam (8am for morning exams) and go through the essential exam techniques needed to be successful. These are not a replacement for last minute revision (see our Spaced Learning section below).

All-Inclusives

These run for 2 hours after school and are used to dive further into topics and knowledge with all students taking that subject. They are held in our large study spaces and drink and food is provided for free.

Walking Talking Mocks

These sessions take place in an exam room with exam desks and a past paper. Teacher walk them throught the paper provided key advice and tips on how to maximise marks for each question. The fact that this is done in the exam rooms allows students to visualise their exam and remember the guidance they have been taught.

What is happening in the Summer Term

New English, Maths & Science Boost, Option Subject Boost and Subject Forms
Students have re-set in to new English, Maths or Science Boost classes, Option Subject Boost classes and Subject Forms based on the areas they need further support and time on. This is based on their results and performance in their February mock exams and the latest set of predictions their teachers have made at the end of the Spring Term.

English, Maths & Science Boost

Students receive an additional three 95-minute lessons of English, Maths or Science each week based on the which subject they need more time and support in. These are reviewed on a regular basis in RAG Meetings by the Leaders of these subjects, Pastoral staff and Senior Leaders. Students can move Boost classes if we feel they have made good progress and need further support in another subject.

For example, a student may be in English Boost and have three lessons of that each week. At a RAG meeting, if feedback and data is showing improvements in English but may need support in Science, their Boost lessons will switch the next day to Science and a new timetable will be issued to the student that morning.

Parents/carers can view on their SIM Parent app which Boost class their child currently attends.

Subject Forms

Students are also placed in morning form classes which are lead by English, Maths and Science Form Tutors. Year 11 start school early at 8.30am and have a 45 minute PREP time to study our Life Chances curriculum and also receive additional teaching time and learning in the Core Subjects. Subject Forms are also reviewed in the English, Maths and Science RAG meeting and students can move forms after a certain time so they recieve additional time with an English, Maths and Science teacher each morning.

Option Subject Boost

In a similar way to the English, Maths and Science Boost, Option Subjects also have Boost sessions which take place on Mondays and Tuesdays each week, starting at 2.45pm to 3.30pm. Each half term, Option Subject Leaders, Pastoral staff and Senior Leaders and a Progress RAG meeting looking at feedback and data on which students need support in one of their three option subjects.

For example, a student who studies Geography, Art and Media may attend Geography Option Subject Boost sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays for half a term as they require additional time and support there and then switch to Media Boost sessions in the next half term as they have made good progress in Geography but require further support in Media.

Pre-Exam Classes, All-Inclusives, CAMPS Calendar

Throughout this summer term, including the Easter and May half term holidays, subject teams will be offering additional intervention classes to support students on specific topics or areas which require greater depth and time.

Here is the basic structure of NIGHTCLUB.

• Starts 2.45pm to 4.30pm
• Hosted in an IT based room (A2 on Mondays & Tuesdays and C1 on Thursdays & Fridays) so students can access Google Classroom and other online learning as well as do handwritten work
• Register taken to track attendance for rewards and for safeguarding
• Perfect Climate lesson protocols apply
• Uniform must be worn, no coats, use of phones is not permitted
• Food order taken at the start and delivered to the room at 3.30pm.
Rewards and Incentives
Each term students who receive 100 or more net reward points totals will receive a third off the price of the summer Prom ticket.
- Everyone will be invited (as long as there are no serious misconduct issues)
- Tickets are £30 – meal, DJ, photo booth
- You can work towards a free ticket by accumulating reward points each term.
- 100 points = £10 off your ticket price
- 300 points = Free ticket!
Free Breakfast and Free Coffee Bar at breaktime
To ensure students are properly fuelled to perform at their best during their mock exams, we are offering every student a free breakfast from the dining room from 7.30am – 8.20am. A range of cereals, juices, fruit and toasted items are available for any Year 11 on the morning of an exam.

In addition, Year 11 students are able to access our new Year 11 Coffee bar where we serve a free cup of tea or coffee and biscuit for their enjoyment and refreshment.

Summer GCSE Exam Calendar (Download Version)

View

In the run up to your child’s Summer GCSE Exam series, it’s important that not only their academic needs are being supported, but also their health and well-being.
We know that young people often regard good, long regular sleep and eating properly as a secondary consideration to wanting to socialise and interact with their friends or spend time online. Teenagers can get into bad habits with regards to being online too long, not eating nutritious meals regularly and not finding the right balance between sleep and work.
The next two weeks, leading up to their first exam and the five weeks which their exams cover, should be a time where they are looking after themselves a lot more to remain focused, refreshed and alert through what is a challenging and exhausting time.
Therefore, we have put together this guide, based on sound scientific research, to help you and your child navigate their way through the next few weeks and perform at their best, every day.
There are 3 main areas which everyone can reflect on and make positive changes to their habits; SLEEP, SCREEN TIME and STUDY FUEL.
