The Regents Review Summer 2019

DEPARTMENTAL NEWS Mathematics Year 8 Preparations for GCSE As we approach the summer holidays, Year 8 are nearing the end of KS3, where they have worked hard throughout this academic year. In September they will start studying towards their GCSEs and I am sure Year 8 are up to the challenge and will mature into great mathematicians over the next 3 years. To support them in maths, students will need to be proficient in using scientific calculators, compasses and protractors, students will need to purchase these to use in lessons and to help them complete homework tasks.

Year 11 Maths Revision Year 11 took advantage of our Domino’s revision evening in May. It was very well attended and the Regents Parks Maths Department would like to thank Domino’s for supplying the pizzas for free. Year 9 Year 9 have just sat a very challenging set of mock examinations. Well done for their perseverance! The three papers have given students a useful insight into what their examinations will be like next summer. Class teachers have gone through the test papers with students, who have already seen where errors could have been avoided and improvements can be made in the future.
