Year 10 Fluency Checks
To complement the new system we have also created a brand new assessment. The Year 10 Fluency Check is specially designed to help identify gaps in students’ knowledge ahead of their GCSEs. Enabling teachers to support students in a more timely and targeted way. Read the summary document here.
You can find and download the Year 10 Fluency resources in your Assessment site on the home page.
GCSE Revision Lists and Crossover Workbooks
Using GCSE content from Sparx Maths, we have created a series of six crossover workbooks. Each workbook focuses on a particular Strand of maths and contains questions from key crossover topics that appear in both the GCSE Foundation and Higher tier papers.
These resources, as well as a revision skills list for Higher, Foundation and Crossover, can be found on our Sparx Curriculum in the grey revision blocks in the Y11 Summer Term.
