Year 9 Options Evening

The Elutec Experience…

DavidLouiseAbdul

Met at ‘My Elutec’ and induction days and have become friends…

8 September 2014

This is what we know about them…• Cognitive ability• Reading age• Spelling age• Current GCSE level in English, maths,

biology, physics, chemistry• Aptitude for German• SEN details (if any)• Pupil premium status• Any relevant health issues• Attendance in year 9• Aspirations after school• That they all want to be in the same house

All of which tells us…Abdul is an ‘average’ student with test scores that are expected for someone of his age. He aspires to be a chemical engineer – his ‘career journal’ will set him clear targets to achieve beyond the expectations of this data. He will be supported on this journey by his mentor.

Louise will need support across the curriculum but most intensively with her literacy. Her mentor will be an LSA who will work with her across all subjects and set short term targets on a weekly basis. She will take one science and will not take MFL and this extra time on her timetable will focus on raising her attainment in English and maths.

David is a high functioning dyslexic. He is of above average intelligence although his attainment is lower than expected because his dyslexia is a barrier to success in formal assessments. He will be given lap-top dispensation and specific intervention from his mentor who is a dyslexia specialist.

Plus.. Who the most suitable mentor will be; What they would like to do on Wednesday afternoons; Where they should sit in class; Exactly which bits of English, maths and science they need most support in; What sort of work experience they should have; What their hopes and fears are at Elutec; How they travel to school everyday; And much more…

My Elutec?

Target Date Set Progress Further ActionTo complete all tasks set in maths lessons

12 February

Jack has been trying really hard to stay focused in maths lessons and is completing more work than he had been – although not always the complete task.

Jack must ask for help from the LSA if he is struggling with a question. He should also use the resources on the website to go over techniques at home if he hasn’t understood something in class.

To find a work experience placement

10 December

Brilliant! Jack has found a placement at the Ford Engine Plant.

Jack should find out as much as he can about the company before he starts.

To ensure that you are properly dressed for Elutec every day, wearing full uniform and not wearing inappropriate jewellery

12 February

Jack has been able to remember his tie every day, which is good but he has still lost HP on 4 occasions for wearing friendship bracelets that contravene Elutec policy.

Will reset as a target and asks all of Jack’s teachers to check his wrists at the beginning of every lesson.

Mentoring
