EBacc Excellence: Maximise progress and raise attainment at KS4 - Central London

Tuesday 27 Sep 2011
London
The definitive event for school leaders and curriculum experts to gain exclusive insight into how this new performance measure will affect your school.

“Alongside the number of students who secure five good GCSEs including English and mathematics, the performance tables will record the number who secure the combination of GCSEs which make up the English Baccalaureate. Those schools which succeed in giving their pupils a properly rounded academic education will be more easily identified.”

 (‘The Importance of Teaching’, The Schools White Paper, 2010)

 
 
Schools in England are now subject to new performance measures based on how many pupils achieve grades A*- C in five core subjects – maths, English, two science qualifications, a foreign language and either history or geography.  Whilst the DfE site this as a logical step to ensure all young people receive a well-rounded education, schools across the country are wondering how this new measure of attainment will affect reinvestment in core subjects, the quality of teaching and learning and progression pathways for student at KS4.

 
The EBacc Excellence: Maximise progress and raise attainment at KS4 conference is your opportunity to hear the current status of the EBacc and how this performance measure will affect your school.  Return to your organisation ready to update and prepare colleagues on how this new gauge of attainment will impact their daily practices to ensure that come August, your school is topping the performance tables.

 
Over the course of this timely event, you will gain practical advice on how to raise performance and participation in core EBacc subjects whilst maintaining standards within a rigorous curriculum designed to accelerate pupil progress.
