In science, we use KPI activities to measure the progress of our Key Stage 3 students. Each activity comes with success criteria that teachers will use to mark the students work. Students are graded with ‘not met,’ ‘partially met’ and ‘met.’ During feedback teachers discuss the common misconceptions and pose learning questions to close the gap in knowledge. Analysis of assessment and mock data helps teachers decide which units may need to be re-taught; teachers will make a decision on whether to teach units again if students have poorly performed or challenge students by looking at units from a different perspective. In Key Stage 3, data is used to make changes to class sets, those students that consistently perform well in assessments and KPI activities will be able to move to a set where the work is more challenging. Knowledge organisers are used in Key Stage 3 and teachers use them to set homework activities. Students need to learn a set of keywords and their definitions. Students are tested on these keywords with regular short quizzes. Extra-curricular clubs have been introduced at the academy and science offers a STEM club. Students get to do a STEM club that focuses on the Key Stage 3 curriculum and links the learning of information to fun, interactive science experiments. The impact of the curriculum in terms of students understanding the practical importance of science in our every- day life is measured through participation and engagement in science extra-curricular activities.
