And some of them are seeing it now it's like they need a rest which is the opposite of what they need at the minute they don't understand what it is to have to sit for two hours and write at length in a in a you know good way no punctuation no capital letters handwriting bad how do we actually feel about it because you could probably tell i am looking quite stressed today i'm trying to keep calm i'm worried because like you say it is a true picture of actually what the children have performed at you know absolutely devastated we're looking at single figures in terms of five gcses four and above and c and above which means that less than ten percent of our kids if those results become reality you're going to be able to go on to the college courses that we'd want them to have quite simply that is not good enough,
We can't rock up without in the summer because i can't even imagine what disadvantages that would bring to a cohort of kids it's almost unthinkable yeah remember we felt like we peaked too early last year definitely haven't done that yet [Laughter] it's unbelievable isn't it this is the weather you need a decent coat that looks like a decent coat yeah that's what you need don't you anyway machine is ready to go oh thank you we've got a meeting yeah so thank you for that that's marvelous i don't worry about many things and i wouldn't say i have sleepless nights particularly easily but i'm really worried about these results because we can't let those kids down we talk at harp about making the difference we have to do whatever it's going to take this year to make the difference got some work to do,
It's the day after mr povey received the mock results and a meeting of the entire teaching staff has been called modern everybody i just wanted to give you a few updates the current tracking is looking around about five percent on track for passes in both math and english which obviously i imagine for you is not where we want to be okay it's not a figure we want to see in lights so i would ask you have you sought advice have you talked together with other members of staff are you confident that your predictions are accurate i think as well what the students are saying to us is that they're not getting enough exam practice well they don't feel confident enough with exam style questions it's back to basics within the lessons have we got high quality teaching,
And learning and assessment okay thank you i know we've run over but i think this is probably one of the most important meeting we have all year so the first thing i'm going to say is it's not good enough as staff we're gonna have to really think carefully about what we do with our young people to get them where we need to be because jenny's rightly said this is gonna come from us this is our responsibility we're the professionals we lead those young people we've got to get those young people where they need to be we've got to get hold of the parents tonight and we're going to say to the parents we need you to help get your young people where they need to be by summertime change starts this morning get the students to take on those challenges,
As staff we're going to have to do things differently to get ourselves to where we need to be a lot of work to do but i know there's a group that i'd corresponding to do within its society in this area let's roll our sheaths up let's make modification happen thanks very much here's where we find out who wants it quite right yeah okay yeah good i've got to go to this other meeting there's lots going on yeah year 11 mocks it's just absolute balls to the wall i'll do whatever i need to do i'll pull people in i'll make the comments no i will all right see you later sorry i'm just gonna go through a few questions that we've done in the last bit of tourism on countries and continents to help you out because a lot of people don't seem to know where is what okay where is kenya africa,
We studied all these different countries what's the capital city of kenya it's in your book it's on the map please with an n na na no it's not gnar capital city of kenya and shannon says narnia nice hi sean hey mate i didn't lock it by the way i just got time for a chat oh yeah following the fight the school want to channel sean's energy in a positive direction language's teacher mr ham dowie also runs the school's boxing club what do you think about coming boxing you're for it they've said you can come because we think it will benefit you in a few ways i think it'd be good for you as well you know get your anger out there rather than in on the classroom and corridors and whatnot especially not towards teachers but we'll sort it out but listen it's going to teach you to control yourself when you come boxing those don't go wild hurry up ladies gents come on mr povey has called an assembly with all the year 11 students to reveal their mock,
Results awful i got zero zero zero g g d u g what'd you get got a one first ain't in there whatever's written on that paper now how do you actually feel about that now imagine this was in the summer and they were your actual grades they're going to go with you for the rest of your life they're going to carry through they're going to define you they're going to open doors for you and close other gates how would you essentially texture today if this was seasonal 2017 and that's what you've dipped up 16 years of your lifespan additional thing i want to say the biggest blockade that i see in public in here,
You don't have that trust i have discussions with people in this room and you genuinely don't think you can do anything you talk yourself down if you've not got belief in yourself what are we going to do what i want to say to you now is this is not the end i've got a lot of work to do but it's nowhere near the end reflect on that please it's 3 p.m and mr povey has invited the parents of year 11's to join the session the parents can support us.
