Revision for Exam

There are lots of ways to revise maths at Haberdashers Adams’:

• Your class teacher will provide you with two in class revision sheets which test the same topics as
those on the list. You will complete these in class and have the opportunity to ask your teacher any
questions about them.
• There will be three online revision sheets available on the Y8 area of the AdamsMaths Website.
[Your teachers will show you where to find them]
• Online websites including Dr Frost, Corbett Maths and Maths Genie. Here there are worksheets and
videos for every topic we study at GCSE.
• Y8 booklet and any additional worksheets you may have yourself.

 Setting in Mathematics – Information for Year 8 students/parents/guardians

As you may perhaps know, Mathematics is taught in mixed-ability tutor groups in Years 7 and 8, and setting
is used in Years 9 to 11.

This document is to let you know how we currently plan to decide on sets for the start of Year 9 (in September);
this is so both parents/guardians (as well as current Year 8 pupils) understand the process better and how
performance in this academic year will affect the set a pupil is placed in at the start of Year 9.

At the end of Year 8, the Mathematics Department reviews the test results, exam performance, and other
assessment information we have on all the pupils in Year 8; this data, together with the application of our
professional judgment will enable us to decide which set each student should be placed in at the beginning of
Year 9. We have used this type of system for many years now and (together with the setting arrangements we
have used in Years 10 and 11) it has produced excellent results at GCSE.

In recent years, since the new mathematics GCSE exam came into place, 75% of our students have achieved
at least a grade 7, close to 90% at least a grade 6 and all the rest at least a grade 5 (except for one person who
achieved a grade 4). In our view, this has been a narrow enough range of results for us to continue with only
requiring two types of sets: a higher and a lower set. We have also found there remains considerable variation
in the progress of some students during Year 9 and beyond, and we do not want to have a large number of
ability-based sets where some students might end up being highly demoralised by being placed in, for example,
set 5 out of 5 (i.e. what would be the lowest set), as we have found to be the case in the past.

Whatever their set in Y9 and beyond, the plan remains that all pupils at Haberdashers’ Adams (whatever their
set) sit the same maths tests and end of year exam in Year 9 (and also the same GCSE higher tier paper at the
end of Year 11). The main differences between the sets (aside from numbers) are in the pace of the lessons,
in the coverage of additional material beyond the standard curriculum, and in the extent to which the focus is
on questions at the top end of (or even beyond) the examination range: by putting the students into suitable
sets we shall be able to personalise their learning to a greater degree, provide a little more individual support
in lessons to lower group pupils (due to smaller group sizes) and give them all the opportunity to maximise
their learning (and hence GCSE grade).

One of a number of factors we consider when allocating pupils to sets includes the then current likelihood of
each individual going on to achieve a grade 8 or 9 at GCSE; one way we measure this is by looking at the
number of 8 and 9 grades achieved in tests during Year 8 (and, to a lesser extent, in Year 7), and in the end of
year exams. It follows that those students without a majority of 8 or 9 grades are much less likely to be put
into a higher set.

As I have stated above, pupils occasionally develop more or less rapidly than expected in Year 9, and we do
sometimes adjust the sets as a consequence. In the majority of cases, pupils tend to remain in the same set
throughout Year 9; however, should we consider it appropriate, we will have the freedom to move a student
between a higher and a lower set (but we would not normally make such adjustments before the start of the
Spring Term of Year 9).

In addition, at the end of Year 9, the Mathematics Department once again reviews test results, exam
performance and so on of all the pupils in order to decide which set each student should be placed in at the
beginning of Year 10. We also sometimes make minor adjustments to sets in Years 10 and 11.

 Year 8 Mathematics Grade Descriptors
The following are guides to half-term grades. Your grade will reflect the band which is the “best fit” to
your performance over the half-term or term that the grade is for.
Grade Interpretation Rough Proportion
achieving each grade
9 • An outstanding understanding of the concepts taught this term. Highest 20%
• An outstanding ability to perform mathematical techniques
taught this term.
• Mistakes are rarely made, and regularly checked and corrected. Estimated grade
• An excellent ability to solve problems in familiar and unfamiliar boundary: 84%

8 • An excellent understanding of the concepts taught this term. Next 20%
• An excellent ability to perform mathematical techniques taught
this term.

• A good ability to solve problems in familiar contexts.
6 • A good understanding of the concepts taught this term. Next 20%
• A good ability to perform mathematical techniques taught this

• Mistakes are sometimes made, but not frequently. boundary: 50%
• Some problem-solving questions can be completed with support.

• A basic ability to perform mathematical techniques taught this
term. Estimated grade
• Mistakes are regularly made, and some content may not be boundary: 40%

Evidence on which your half-term grade is based:
Principal Evidence – Half term test results. The half term test will be based on
the half term’s worth of work.

Supporting Evidence – Homework, including that completed on online

platforms such as show my homework and performance in class, such as
answering questions during class discussions and successfully completing
independent practice questions.

Grades can fluctuate as they are assessed on that half terms worth of work.
