Raising Standards and Aspirations
This video resource from Teachers TV features ideas, implemented at Broadoak Mathematics and Computing College in Weston-Super- Mare, which have improved the GCSE attainment of their students.
Results rose from 24% achieving A*/C in 2003 to 50% in 2007 and have been achieved despite a profile of attainment below the national average. The improvement in examination results has also had a positive effect on the school's relationship with parents and the wider community.
Headteacher Linda Heaven-Woolley puts the school's success down to raising the standards of teaching and learning, raising the aspirations of children and parents, and raising the bar of what can be achieved.
