To a 'C' and beyond
Description
To find out what makes top-rated Oaks Park High School's maths department tick, we follow a group of Year 11 students as the maths team prepare them for their resits. In this first of three programmes we meet head of maths, Stephen Froggatt, who believes that happy staff make good teachers, and his teaching team. Tracking and targeting of all maths students is another important feature. In November 2008 65% of students achieved a grade C or above in their maths GCSE. 28 of the students who got a D grade are preparing to resit their maths GCSE in June. If more than half these students manage a C grade, then the department will get their best A*-C pass rate ever. To give students the best chance, the department have launched a C/D booster programme in which students are offered extra tuition and revision classes. Three weeks into the course, attendance is low and course leader and deputy head of maths, Raj Jutley has already been forced to exclude one student.
