Year 8 | Year 9
Dear Parents,
It is an exciting time for your son/daughter in Year 8 or Year 9 as he/she has decisions to make about which
subjects to take at GCSE or equivalent level.
Year 9 are following the traditional route of a two year GCSE course which they will start as Year 10 in September
2011. In their decision making they will be directed towards a broad and balanced curriculum ensuring that any
student capable of achieving access to higher levels of study has a strong foundation and does not close any
doors to further opportunities. Equally importantly, the curriculum offers courses which enable all to achieve
success, and some students will be guided down a route including BTECs.
Year 8 have the opportunity to start GCSEs and their equivalent qualifications early in Year 9, in September 2011.
This will allow the GCSE and equivalent courses to be taught over three years. It brings choice earlier and will
enable a rich delivery of examination courses with a strong focus upon skills. Students will be able to rehearse the
challenging controlled assessments which require thorough planning to achieve success. Elements of the course
will be broken down into the level of detail which will enable nearly all to achieve success at the all-important C
grade as well as A* for our able students. Once again, students will be directed towards a broad and balanced
curriculum ensuring that any student capable of achieving access to higher levels of study does not close any
doors to further opportunities. For those students being guided into BTEC courses there is the opportunity to have
intensive work on literacy, English as an Additional Language and other important life skills.
The curriculum offers a variety of pathways ensuring that our brightest students equip themselves with the
necessary skills and qualifications to be able to achieve A*s and to access the best universities. All students will
experience success through finding a curriculum which suits their skills, abilities, talents, interests and needs.
I look forward to meeting you at the Parents’ Consultation evenings and at the Options Evening on the
3rd February.

The Key Stage 4 curriculum
Students will study GCSE English and English Literature, GCSE
Mathematics and GCSE Science (Double or Triple Award) plus
four optional choices.
All students will study courses leading to GCSEs. Some will
balance this with BTECs or OCR National qualifications and
other vocational offers.
Compulsory GCSEs
• English
• English Literature
• Mathematics
•General Science (including Chemistry, Biology and Physics
and worth two GCSEs)
Most students will also select a Modern Foreign Language
(French, Spanish or German) and a Humanity (History
and/or Geography) unless they have been guided into the
BTEC choice.
BTEC options (shaded blue below) are guided choices only.
Students will be guided into these options by tutors and
teachers. All other students will need to select one gold
option (Modern Foreign Languages) and one purple option
(Humanities). Students must select one option from each of
the four blocks.
Guidance will be given at the Options Evening and to students
at tutor time.

Students will select two further optional subjects from a broad
range of other subjects at GCSE, BTEC or OCR National level.
This booklet briefly describes all these courses, to help with choice.
Students should ask, in order to be clear that they are making the
right choice for them. Parents should help their son/daughter by
asking them helpful questions. It is unlikely that subject choices will
be career specific at this stage but it is worth ensuring that no doors
are closed to further study. Students who select subjects which they
enjoy and have ability in will reap future success. Choice should not
be made based on friendship groups or teachers!
Some students will benefit from the close monitoring of tasks in
BTECs and OCR Nationals. All students will need to pay careful
attention to securing maximum marks in controlled assessments
which will take place throughout the two or three years. These
require good understanding about the assessment criteria and very
thorough preparation. A timetable of assessments will be provided
at the beginning of Year 10.

English in Year 9
In Year 9, you will prepare for GCSE
by learning many of the skills you
will need to be successful on the
course. The Year 9 curriculum covers
an exciting range of texts and
topics including a choice of modern
novels such as My Swordhand is
Singing and The Boy in the Striped
Pyjamas; a spooky ghost stories
unit; work on the play Romeo and
Juliet and a detailed analysis of
the film Freedom Writers. The
key development in your thinking
will be learning how to succeed
in controlled assessments so that
you can get off to a flying start
at GCSE. This will involve close
analysis of texts, shared and guided
writing, note-making and intensive
preparation before showing what
you have learned in a controlled test.
All of this will help you to prepare for
Edexcel GCSEs in either English, or
English Language and Literature.
GCSE Mathematics
(2 or 3 year course)
EXAM BOARD
Edexcel
You will study two to three years of Maths. The teaching will
be widely varied and will include group work, individual work,
investigational work and independent study. You will study and
develop various mathematical techniques related to Numeracy
(working with numbers), Algebra (working with unknown
quantities), Geometry (working with shapes) and Data Handling
(working with real-world information).
In addition to the content of the GCSE Maths course, you will
also develop skills in reasoning, forming logical arguments, spatial
awareness, and interpreting and communicating skills.
Your assessment will take place after either two or three
years of study, depending on your own and your teacher’s opinion. The
assessment for this course is examination based, with two exams lasting either
1 and a half hours each or 1 hour 45 minutes each. One of the exams will be
non-calculator.

GCSE Science
(Double and Triple Award)
EXAM BOARD
OCR
COURSE TITLE 21st Century Science: Core, Additional or Triple
Course Content: All students study the academic content of GCSE Science with the
aim of helping them to make sense of the science they come across in everyday
life. They come to appreciate what science can tell them about themselves, the
environment and the universe. The Science GCSEs are designed to meet the
diversity of students’ needs and aspirations.
Core Science looks at the moral and ethical issues behind current science in the
news. It encourages students to assess the risk behind the science they come into
contact with every day and start to make decisions based on scientific knowledge
and scientific methods which will help them in decision making throughout their
lives. In Biology, students study genetics, the human body and evolution. In
Chemistry, students study air pollution, how materials are made and issues behind
the food industry. In Physics, students study the universe, the electromagnetic
spectrum and radioactive materials.
Additional Science continues from Core Science with a greater focus on academic
content rather than skills. In Physics, students will study forces, electricity and
waves. In Chemistry, students will study the periodic table, chemicals in the natural
environment and chemicals in industry. In Biology, students will study how the body
behaves in extreme conditions, growth and development, and the brain and mind.
Triple Science: some students will take three GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and
Physics where they will take their studies in these areas to a higher academic level.
How it is assessed: Students have four module exams for each GCSE and two pieces
of coursework. The coursework includes a case study on a controversial science topic
and an investigation.
Year 9 course outline: In Year 9 students will study Biology, Chemistry and Physics
with the purpose of ensuring they know the necessary content ready to start GCSEs
successfully. They will also practise the many skills needed for success at GCSE such
as experimental procedure and critically evaluating science reports from the news.
They will begin the GCSE course towards the end of Year 9.

If you enjoy communicating with others, finding out how language
works and discovering different countries and cultures then a modern
foreign language GCSE is for you.
This choice will enable you to share your interests and opinions with
other speakers of your chosen language. You will have an international
dimension to your GCSEs, which is increasingly important and sought
by higher education institutions as well as employers. You will develop a
range of skills which will be useful in whatever career route you choose,
for example the ability to communicate effectively with others, to speak
out in public, to use different problem-solving strategies and so on. All of
this will give you opportunities to work abroad or for British companies
who have international links. Employers are increasingly looking for those
who are able to offer a foreign language.
Assessment is carried out over the duration of the course. Assessment in
Speaking and Writing is done as and when your teacher feels you are ready.
You will submit two spoken and two written assessments. You will then sit one
Listening and one Reading test: these are usually carried out towards the end
of the course.
The language, grammar and skills you have already learned during Key
Stage 3 have prepared you to take on a GCSE in your chosen language.
You will build on the topic areas you have been studying and have the
opportunity to move on to new topic areas such as basic language of
the internet, job advertisements/applications, work experience, customer
service and transactions.
Continue to work hard in your language lessons now and you will become
a successful and sought-after linguist.
