Knowledge Organisers - InstructionsKnowledge organisers are not about copying, they areabout memorising the knowledge needed for eachsubject.Each time you use your Knowledge Organisers in prep timeand at home you should: Check to see if your teacher has told you a specificpart of the knowledge organiser to learn e.g. for amini test in class.Rule off six lines.Select a subject knowledge organiser.Select a section from your chosen knowledgeorganiser.Read and re-read the text, using the look and covertechnique.Write the information learnt into the box using only fourlines.Using a RED pen, check each word, ticking it if correct. Then add any missing informationin RED in lines 5 & 6.Do not just copy out the knowledge organiser, you are aiming to memorise theinformation. This will mean repeating the process multiple times in one sitting and thentesting yourself again a couple of weeks later.Homework Schedule & pMondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridayYear 7, 8&9MathsEnglishScienceHumanitiesCreativeYear 10 st 16Option 1Option 2Option 3AdditionalRevisionAdditionalRevisionClass teachers from the subjects above, foundation and option subjects willset REGULAR homework in addition to the ROUTINE HOMEWORK you areexpected to complete each night. This homework will be set on Class Chartsand checked regularly.Additional exam-based question homework will be set for Year 10, Year 11and Post 16, this should be submitted in the next subject lesson as it will bepre-learning to the lesson.All students must complete ‘routine homework’ for 20 minutes each night, this is theminimumexpectations. You will be required to write a heading of HW in the column of your Ready to Learnbooks and continue to write out the knowledge from memory as you have been shown(covering up the knowledge in the knowledge organiser) and then self-checking, correcting anyerrors in Red pen – this is a continuation from your Prep Time Session.It is your responsibility to ensure your parent/carer signs each page every week to checkthat homework has been completed and meets Academy expectations.
1Why do you need to Know British Values? Understanding British values is an important way to enable you to embrace the key values that you need to be equipped for life in modern British society.There are 5 fundamental British Values. Through understanding the British values of Democracy, the Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect, and Acceptance for those withdifferent faiths and beliefs, you will develop self-knowledge, be better able to make the right choices and make contributions to the school and the wider community.Democracy2Democracy3In the United Kingdom we vote (age 18 ) for the people we want to run our councilsand Government.4We vote for Members of Parliament (MP’s). Elections take place at least onceevery 5 years.In our democracy there are political parties. At the time of writing the politicalparty who has the majority of MP’s in Parliament is the Conservative Party.Labour are currently the opposition Party.586The Leader of the Conservatives and our current Prime Minister is Theresa May.The Leader of the Opposition is Jeremy Corbyn.7MP’s debate in the Palace of Westminster, in the House of Commons. On theopposite side of the Building is the House of Lords. The House of Lords (unelectedmembers) ratify law and policies put forward by parliament.Examples of Political Parties:9When elections take place for Members of Parliament, the public go to vote. Traditionally this happens ona Thursday, and people vote in a secret ballot. People only know who you vote for if you decide to tellthem – it is rude to ask!10Where can I see British Values at School? Democracy – School Council / Form Representatives / StudentExecutive. We hold mock elections and in PSHE you will learn more about politics. We participate in theMAT debating competition, held in the council chamber at the Town Hall.The rule of law11In the UK, we have laws which determine what is legal and illegal. You areexpected to know the difference between right and wrong.14There are consequences for making the wrong choice or taking illegal actions. We all take responsibilityfor our actions.12The rule of law is a principle that individuals and institutions are subject andaccountable to, which is fairly applied and enforced.1513Those who commit crimes will ultimately be brought to justice through the legalsystem including Police officers, courts and lawyers. The rule of law acts as adeterrent, to deter people from criminal acts.Where can I see British Values at School? Rule of Law – Our Behaviour Systems and Behaviour Policy.We have agreed rules and expectations so that our school is a safe and happy place where all differencesare reconciled peacefully. We have a PCSO that comes into school to educate you in the law.18Where can I see British Values at School? Mutual Respect – Our academy ethos, antibullying andassemblies. Boundaries are used to ensure you are safe.Individual liberty16In the UK you are free to have an opinion (unless it is extremist) and believe inwhat you want without discrimination.17You have the freedom to make choices and decisions without being judged.Mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.19Mutual Respect and Tolerance are the proper regard for an individuals’ dignity,which is reciprocated, and a fair, respectful and polite attitude is shown to thosewho may be different to ourselves.21We should all actively challenge students, staff or parents expressing opinions contrary to the values wehold in society and as a school and those that underpin the fabric of a democratic Britain. This is crucialto us to protect one another and to tackle ‘extremist’ views and prevent people from being radicalised.20Differences in terms of faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, young carers anddisability, are differences that should be respected, tolerated and celebrated.22Where can I see British Values at School? Acceptance of Faith – RE Lessons and Assemblies. We giveyou messages of tolerance and respect for others no matter what their ethnicity, beliefs, sexuality, genderor disability.DemocracyRule of LawIndividual LibertyMutual RespectBritish Values Knowledge OrganiserTolerance
