Target Audience: Year 11 students who are not yet working at the highest level (i.e. working at a 6/7, but capable of achieving an 8/9).
Format: Weekly, hour-long, online lessons delivered by EMS teachers after school hours. For the academic year 25-26, the students joined us in Year 10 (24-25) and are continuing on the programme until the February half term of Year 11.
Aim: To enable students to achieve better GCSE grades than initially predicted and to therefore have greater opportunities in Further and Higher education.
How to get involved: Students previously enrolled on the Y10 programme for the academic year 24-25 are automatically enrolled onto the Y11 programme.
Deadline: N/A
Capacity: 200(ish).
During a series of online lectures, students will have the opportunity to develop a deeper and more connected understanding of GCSE content.
Supported by EMS staff, students will be provided with the stimuli to broaden their application of Physics and its related fields, whilst supporting their development; thereby encouraging them towards further study of Physics beyond GCSE.
Students participate in weekly online after-school workshops, starting soon after the spring half term in Year 10. Students remain on the programme in Year 11, attending weekly lessons during the autumn and early spring terms of their GCSE year.
