13 Mathematics Year 9 We have recently re-structured our Year 9 Mathematics curriculum to make it more practical and exciting for our students. As well as covering the traditional Mathematics content, all students will be taking part in a variety of functional Maths activities, many of which will be extended projects. These are to include Designing an Eco Village, an Eden Project Workshop and an Olympics Carousel. The emphasis will be on how students can apply their Mathematical knowledge to real life situations. We also hope to improve their problem solving, communication and team working skills. Year 10 and 11 All students in Year 10 will start their Linear Mathematics There are two tiers of assessment at GCSE, Higher (H) and Foundation (F). Students will be taught at the tier appropriate to their ability. HIGHER LEVEL: Available grades:- A*, A, B, C and D This tier is designed for students who are targeted at grade C or above. The course will be differentiated to suit the needs of individuals. Some students will spend time reinforcing earlier topics whilst others will be extended to look at more challenging topics in preparation for A-level. FOUNDATION LEVEL: Available grades:- C, D, E, F and G This tier is designed for students who do not find the subject easy. Some aspects of this course will be of a practical nature to be appropriate to the foundation pathways. Once again the course will be differentiated. Students will be entered for their GCSE exam in November of Year 11. They will be given the opportunity to re-sit to improve their grade in June of Year 11. Students who choose not to re-sit will be able to study GCSE Statistics or Preparation for A-Level. Students who find the subject significantly challenging will be entered for the Entry Level Certificate in Mathematics. This course is structured to the needs of the students who will undergo a programme of continuous assessment. There are three levels of award: Certificate, Merit and Distinction.
14 Science Most Students studying Science at KS4 will complete two Science GCSEs. The content of the course will be divided equally between topics from Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

UNIT 4a Solo Choreography 15% Students choreograph and perform a solo dance based on a professional dance work. UNIT 4b Group Choreography 25% Students choreograph a group dance piece using 3 others students, based on a stimulus of their choice. Is the GCSE Dance course suitable for me? Students considering the AQA Dance GCSE course must be prepared to work as a performer, choreographer and dance critic. They will work alongside other students to create exciting pieces of performance which will be performed in front of an audience and examiner. Students must recognise that 20% of the course comprises of written work that is taught alongside the majority of the practical work. Anyone considering this GCSE must accept that this is a challenging course and the main dance style is Contemporary. Hip Hop, Street Dance and Disco do not feature in this course. Contemporary Dance gives dance students an excellent foundation and is the style of choice taught by the majority of Further and Higher Education centres. The GCSE course gave me an insight into life as a dancer and allowed me to be creative whilst improving my technical abilities. I had not done Contemporary before, but I have loved learning a new style. I can now do A Level Dance which will hopefully help me fulfil my ambition of becoming a professional choreographer (Year 12 student) Dance is an extremely disciplined subject and students should be prepared to adhere to this philosophy during the course. There will be a strict dance uniform which will be discussed with the students before the course begins.
19 E GCSE Design and Technology The Design and Technology course explores the design process in detail across material areas, and examines how various products are designed, modelled, prototyped, manufactured and promoted. This is taught through new projects which allow students to be creative and imaginative, whilst developing skills and using tools and equipment, and utilises the technology of CAD/CAM. Every student will need an A3 portfolio with transparent sleeves to present their coursework, and parents/carers are asked for a contribution to the materials of 20. The department will then provide all materials to each student. Students will choose a Design Brief that they will work on for their GCSE Design and Make coursework which is 60% of the final GCSE grade. Students will usually work in two materials for their Design project, for example, a Food Product such as a meal for a supermarket will include package design, and graphics. Over the summer holiday students will be expected to complete their research into existing products in their chosen brief. Throughout the course students will have 3-4 lessons per week: one will be for Product Design theory, and the others will be for the Design and Make task 40 hours are allocated for the 20 sheet Design portfolio and the modelling of a Product. The remaining 40% of the exam grade is an externally set written exam lasting two hours. The exam paper has generic questions relating to a broad understanding and knowledge of product design and manufacture, which students will be prepared for throughout their course.
