Our inclusive approach includes: - Differentiated instruction and Scaffolding: We provide modelled examples, structured writing, and scaffolded support to break down complex GCSE content into small, manageable chunks. - Worksheets required for the lesson and for homework are printed for all students to ensure all students can access the work. - Tasks are consistently checked for understanding before moving forward. - We ensure our classrooms are calm, low-distraction environments with assigned seating to support focus. Thinking and processing time is given to allow students to understand new vocabulary. - We regularly support all students' working memory by teaching content and then revisiting what they have learnt to ensure this builds up their working memory. ### **Home learning (frequency and expectations)** Students will be set homework fortnightly which will be easily accessible via Show My Homework and Google Classroom. Students are expected to complete their homework on time and ensure they submit their work on time. ### **How parents/carers can support their child** Parents/Carers can support their child by checking their diaries and looking on Show My Homework. You can also encourage your child to read through reputable newspapers and keep up with current affairs by watching the news. ### **Possible careers:** | Advertising | Actor | |---|---| | Charity Officer | Broadcast Journalist | | Editorial Assistant | Early Years Teacher | | Fundraiser | Journalist | | Exhibition Designer | Government Research Officer | | Magazine Features Editor | Political Research Assistant | | Politician's Assistant | Press Sub-editor | | Press Officer | Programme Researcher | | Teacher | Public Relations Officer | | Project Support Officer | Records Manager | | Radio Broadcast Assistant | Runner (Broadcasting/Film) | | Recruitment Consultant | Tour Guide | | Television Production/Assistant | | ### **Useful Websites:** [AQA Citizenship GCSE](http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/citizenship/gcse) How parents or other members of other public can find out more about the citizenship curriculum/syllabus: ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Information](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/curriculum-information) - [Departments](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments) - [Art](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/art) - [RSHE](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/rshe) - [Drama](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/drama) - [Study Plus/Literacy Intervention Team](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/ema) - [English](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/english) - [Geography](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/geography) - [History](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/history) - [ICT, Computer science & Business Studies](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/ict-computer-science-and-business-studies) - [Maths](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/maths) - [MFL](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/mfl) - [Media](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/media) - [Music](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/music) - [PE](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/pe) - [RE](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/re) - [Science](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/science) - [SEND](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/send) - [Sociology](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/sociology) - [Technology](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/technology) - [Citizenship](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/citizenship) - [Foundational Curriculum ](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/curriculum/departments/foundational-curriculum) #### Little Ilford School Rectory Road, Manor Park London E12 6JB #### Contact Us 020 8478 8024 020 8478 5954 info@littleilford.org ![Little Ilford Logo](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/images/logo/loog-footer.png) #### Useful Links - [ Calendar ](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/calendar) - [ ParentPay ](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/parents-students-parents/parents/parent-pay) - [ Library ](https://www.littleilford.newham.sch.uk/parents-students-parents/students/library) #### Follow Us Instagram © Little Ilford School.
