GETTING THE GRADES VIDEO - Students discuss the merits of having a goal to help them put the hours in to get top grades

Students share advice including:

Find a goal - easier to work hard when you have one

Goals help you focus on grades as well as developing wider employability skills

Share your goals - more likely to stick to them

Use evidence (eg. mock grades) to see how well you are achieving your goals

Think of short, medium and long term goals

Occasionally goals will need to change

ACTIVITY - Use summary slide at the end to get students discussing what their goals might be. How will they go about finding a goal? Search UCAS for courses and apprenticeships they like/don't like?
