This tracker follows the same layout of my KS3 tracker to help with continuity into KS4. Especially as you have spent hours training your students on how to record and respond to feedback, it means they can hit the ground running at GCSE. This tracker includes: A main focus on their target and aspirational target. Great to help students remember what their target it. A space to record historical knowledge after knowledge tests. A graph to track their progress towards their target after each school report. A Year 10 and Year 11 space to record exam question practice. Setting a target for the next exam practice.

Are you looking for a fun and easy way for your students to track their progress? Well look no further! This assessment tracker allows KS3 students to track their progress throughout KS3, whether your school has a 2 or 3 year KS3. There is space for students to record when the assessment took place, what their positives were and their next step. Students are encouraged to reflect between assessments by recording when they met their target. Two skills ladders allow students to use the tracker with homework and class work activities. One ladder focuses on PEEL writing and can be applied to all historical concepts. The second ladder focuses on source skills. The benefit of students keeping their tracker through the Key Stage means they while the scheme of work may revisit concepts in different years, students will still be able to review feedback specific to that concept. A castle for students to record historical and chronological knowledge. A method to include specific knowledge questions within assessments to help build revision and knowledge skills.

To support my A Level students, Edexcel, I created a key word sheet to help students embed analysis in their essays. This sheet supports succinct analysis.

A fun way to revise. Top Trump cards can be used by all ages for all subjects.

Sample letters home to A Level parents post mock exams. One letter celebrates the success of a student, one highlights the need to revise and the final letter explains that the skill of analysis needs to be improved.

Help your GCSE and A Level students develop their independent learning skills using this questionnaire and teacher review sheet. The questionnaire encourages students, half-termly, to reflect on their approach to their learning. It prompts students to think about the skills they need to develop and their attitude towards their learning. To encourage meaningful conversations between teacher and student on independence there is a teacher review sheet, allowing you to record how independent the student is from your perspective.

One word document. Five A Level essay attempts. Each essay has been written by a real Year 12 student. Their syntax, grammar, and spelling have been left ready for your students to improve. The questions included are: How far does religion explain Parliament’s changing influence in the years 1529-1588? How far were the Tudor Monarchs able to extend and sustain their control of local government between 1536 and 1588? How significant were alterations in religious belief in explaining cultural change from 1509-88? Did the Tudors rely more upon consent than coercion to maintain their authority? (There are two answers to this question)

This revision plan is aimed at Year 13s to help them chunk revision for Paper 1 and 2 while studying their Paper 3 topic and preparing their coursework.

This PowerPoint helps students to summarise the role each president played in civil rights and race relations. Not every president will require notes, a handy column links the presidents to the depth themes of the Edexcel Paper 3 course (Civil Rights and race relations in the USA 1850-2009)
