YEAR 7 & 8 Key Topics Key Information From the start of Year 7, pupils are put into Maths sets according to their mathematical ability. Each set follows the department’s scheme of work. The scheme of work is differentiated into three areas: “Support”, “Core” and “Extension”. Each set then follows a scheme of work according to the needs of the group and the individuals within it. However, when studying a particular topic, each set can dip into any of the three areas of “Support”, “Core” or “Extension” depending upon the needs of the pupils in the group. The main topics within the scheme of work are Algebra, Number, Statistics and Geometry & Measures. Each main topic then has sub-divisions. Over the two years of the Key Stage pupils will gain a strong understanding of the key mathematical concepts that will allow them to start GCSE in year 9 with confidence. Homework Tasks Homework is set on a weekly basis. The homework is a continuation of the classwork, aimed at strengthening a pupil’s understanding. Assessment Assessments are carried out by the classroom teacher to allow pupils to become aware of their current levels. This also allows the classroom teacher to plan for future lessons by highlighting any gaps in pupil’s knowledge and understanding. There is also the chance for pupils to attend master classes at the University of Plymouth during both year 7 & year 8. Key Skills Resilience is a skill which pupils will develop during their mathematical studies. Pupils are encouraged to study worked examples and then use such examples to find the solutions to the problems put in front of them. Enquiry is also a skill which is developed. Pupils are encouraged to relate maths to the real world and think of practical examples where mathematics is necessary. Teamwork is encouraged as pupils show resilience by working together to solve problems. Pupils are also encouraged to be methodical, so that their working out and methods are organised and relevant to the question. Organisation also extends to homework as pupils make sure they meet deadlines and complete tasks on time. Most of all the enjoyment of mathematics is a skill which is encouraged. YEAR 9 Key Topics Pupils begin their GCSE studies. Please see the KS 4 Subject Overview.

Curriculum StatementFaculty: English | Subject: EnglishSubject Overview:Our aim is to ensure that all Liskeard students can read, write and speak English well. Having effective spoken and written language skills are essential in order to be a confident member of society and be successful at school and work. We teach pupils to speak and write fluently, accurately and imaginatively so that they can communicate their ideas and emotions to others. Through non-fiction reading and literature, we encourage our students to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually and socially. Reading also enables pupils both to acquire knowledge and to build on what they already know, as well as provide enjoyment. In English lessons we provide a secure environment for students to practise expressing themselves effectively and appropriately through talk, in a range of situations.

Curriculum StatementFaculty: Humanities | Subject: GeographySubject Overview:Geography is a constantly evolving subject which aims to use topical examples to enhance the curiosity and wonder of the people and places around us. At Key Stage 3 pupils examine a range of physical and human features covering social, political, economic and environmental issues at a local, national, international and global scale. Core knowledge is essential for pupils to make sense of the world around them and the curriculum then encourages them to apply this knowledge to new situations and areas using appropriate geographical vocabulary. Regular fieldwork is an essential part of learning to be a geographer and allows for a greater depth of understanding to be reached. In Geography pupils learn and use a wide range of skills from literacy and numeracy to communication and GIS all of which can be used throughout their education and into the world of work.

Curriculum StatementFaculty: Humanities | Subject: R.E.Subject Overview:Religious Education forms part of the basic curriculum of every maintained school. As such RE holds a unique place within the curriculum and within Education Law (see the Education Act 1996). In Liskeard School we follow the Cornwall Agreed Syllabus which is the statutory mechanism for delivering RE in Cornish schools. RE provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, the self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human.
