- The Year 11 curriculum start with the final subtopics from the Year 10 curriculum before becoming a bespoke and reactionary curriculum that will be defined by the areas that are found to be areas were the scholars have struggled in mock exams as well as other formative assessments during Year 10 and 11.
How can you help?
- Try sitting and doing some of the homework alongside – it can be fun, it shows your child you value the work, and can be an excellent way to spend quality time together.
- Encourage scholars to attend computing club after school if they miss a lesson to catch up.
