Find key exam information for The Westgate School, including schedules, guidance and support to help pupils prepare confidently for upcoming assessments. Exam Information Examinations at The Westgate School The school uses a wide range of assessment techniques to monitor pupil progress and help ensure all children continue to move forwards with their learning. In addition to classroom-based assessment and tests, at key times throughout their secondary school journey pupils will take more formal mock examinations - these are a vital way of preparing pupils for what they will experience in their real GCSEs. They help children develop their revision skills; their time management; their emotional resilience within exam conditions; as well as their exam technique - and they provide teachers will invaluable information which we use to inform our curriculum planning in the months leading up to the GCSE exams. Pupils will sit formal mock examinations in: The summer term of Year 10 (after the Year 11 GCSEs are finished) The autumn term of Year 11 (a few weeks before the Christmas holidays) February of Year 11 for English, Maths and Science only Exact timetables will be published to pupils in the build-up to each exam series and can be found below. Tutors and colleagues within school will work with pupils to reassure, support and prepare them for these mock examinations, and parents will be provided with information in our Partners in Learning events throughout the year. Attendance at exams Attendance is vital in this last year. Every day missed has an effect and poor attendance clearly affects results. Even more important is ensuring that pupils attend all examinations and arrive in good time to ensure that they are mentally prepared to walk into their exams and achieve their best. We work closely with our Attendance Manager, and penalty issues may be issued, should attendance be poor. Revision It is vital that you help and support your child plan and structure revision time, ensuring the build-up to both Mock exams and the real GCSEs is used effectively. There are additional resources on how parents can support their child with revision on EduLink, in the Noticeboard tab. Work and wellbeing Year 11 can be a stressful year as pupils prepare for their examinations. We follow a programme in Tutor time which tries to anticipate possible issues in terms of stress.

Go Leading & Developing an all-through school Go Leading & Developing an all-through school Lead Professionals: Mrs F Dean (Executive Headteacher) and Mrs. J Edwards (Head of School) We’ve had the privilege of developing Hampshire’s first, all-through school with our first cohort of pupils from the primary phase moving into Year 7 back in 2021. Initially as a standalone secondary school, The Westgate School has for just over a decade, taken the journey to being a school from EYFS to Year 11, with 25% of pupils in our secondary phase having been to the school’s primary phase. Over time we have been delighted to share our journey with professionals from Multi-Academy Trusts and councils who are exploring the opportunities offered through this model. We would be delighted to invite to our school anyone interested in pursuing this opportunity, offering you a tour as well as a candid review of the opportunities and the challenges! Should be embarking on this journey, we would be happy to provide continued support which extends beyond the Executive Headteacher and Head of School, to include colleagues from across our setting and governors, providing a full range of experiences and views For more information, use the contact form: Contact and sele ct Collaborative Working & Partnerships citing All-Through.

Computing | Computer Science Thriving in a digital world Go Go Our Computing curriculum intends to: Develop pupils' understanding of Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy in order to prepare all pupils to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Develop these strands to enable pupils to apply computational thinking to be better problem solvers. Enable pupils to be confident users of IT, applying IT effectively to real world situations and to know how they and others can use IT safely. Computing All subjects use Computing as part of their curriculum access and delivery. Pupils will develop their knowledge often by using focused research requiring effective use of the internet, as well as having the opportunity to develop their IT literacy and capability using subject relevant applications, particularly in Maths, Design & Technology and Media. Most subjects make use of Computing for effective home learning management, exam preparation and revision, helping to develop skills required for both GCSE and beyond. The GCSE Computer Science course will develop and apply analytic, problem-solving, design, and computational thinking skills. In addition, aspects of these skills are developed within other subjects including Maths and Science. The Personal Development lessons focus on the safety aspects and reporting of concerns. At Key Stage 4, the Computing curriculum is delivered through a combination of Computing lessons, integration with other subjects and through personal development lessons. Why Learn Computing? A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with maths, science and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate, able to express themselves and develop their ideas through information and communication technology, at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world. Computer Science has real relevance in our modern world. The course will give an in-depth understanding of how computer technology works and a look at what goes on behind the scenes. The course provides excellent preparation for higher study and employment in the field of Computer Science. The increasing importance of information technologies means there is a growing demand for professionals who are qualified in this area.
