QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE
GCSE GCSE stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education. GCSE qualifications have been used in schools for the past 15 years. They are examined through a mixture of end of course examination and coursework. GCSEs are general academic qualifications which build upon the courses studied during Key Stage 3. They are well respected by employers and further education providers. English and Maths will now be graded from 1 – 9, other GCSEs are graded from A* - G. Entry Level Qualifications These are used in some subjects in addition to GCSEs. They are often based on the GCSE course and are available to students who may find success in GCSE examinations difficult. Vocational Courses We are offering a number of courses which will give students an opportunity to experience different vocational sectors, including Motor Vehicle, Construction, Hair & Beauty and Creative Media . These courses will help to develop knowledge, understanding and skills of different vocational sectors, and enable students to carry out practical activities in a vocational context. A variety of courses and Entry Level and Level one qualification will be provided which will enable students to follow progression routes into related Level 2 courses and progress into employment. Progression into Further Qualifications of work with Training All of the qualifications offered in Key Stage 4 are part of the government 14 – 19 framework. They are all recognised by Colleges, training providers and employers. Our aim in offering this wide variety of qualifications is to enable all our students to gain accreditation in whichever way suits them the most and in whatever subject area we are able to deliver. They have been designed with progression routes and qualifications in mind. Of course, to progress to the next level, appropriate success must be achieved first.

COMMON CORE OF STUDY to be studied by all students
ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE CORE Purpose of Study The overarching aim of English in the Nastional Curriculum is to enable students to leave school and confidently use all aspects of the English language, fluently and accurately. The skills taught and the knowledge they acquire, in every lesson, are essential to participate fully as a member of society. Employers today expect to employ independent thinkers who are able to adapt and respond to a constatly changing environment; this new curriculum will develop their social, spiritual and emotional experiences in preparation for this. Students are offered the opportunity throughout Key Stage 4 to work independently, as well as sharing ideas and concepts as a group or class. Drawing from their study at Key Stage 3 of reading, writing, speaking and listening, students will explore in greater detail a wider range of texts: great dramatists; romance and conflict in poetry; a nineteenth century novel and two plays by Shakespeare. This breadth of literary influences will equip students with both historical and cultural understanding and promote their enjoyment of litereature. To prepare for examination, students will engage with a range of non-finction media texts which will give them a critical understanding of different genres and written forms from the media today. Students will analyse material and then adapt and emulate the style to craft their own non-fiction writing. Extending and applying grammar and vocabulary in written and spoken English is crucial for students to become confident in their own linguistic development. English Literature Students will read a wide range of classic literature fluently and with a good understanding in order to appreciate the depth and power of English literay heritage. They will write accurately, effectively and analytically about their reading using standard English.
This subject is examined by a terminal examination of 2 or 3 papers with an overall grade of 1 to 9 (9 being the highest)

MATHEMATICS CORE
Foundation (grades 1 to 5) or Higher tier (grades 4 to 9)?
Where is the student now?
Recommended Level
Has achieved level 6 at the end of Yr 8 Higher Tier
Has not achieved level 6 at the end of Yr 8 Foundation Tier
Most likely to achieve 7,8 or 9 Higher Tier
Mostly likely to achieve 1, 2 or 3 Foundation Tier
GCSE Maths uses different ways of learning and assessment, including a Functional Skills element, to develop students’ ability to think mathematically and to apply Maths in work, further study and their personal lives. Students will acquire basic transferable skills, such as the ability to:
Interpret and organize information
Ask questions
Solve problems
Choose a method or technique appropriate to a task
Communicate an argument Kirkby College has one linear GCSE Mathematics specification. Once you child is setted, according to ability, they will follow the Higher GCSE or the Foundation GCSE course. Linear Specification (Papers 1, 2 and 3) – this means that all the examinations are taken at the end of the course and any part of the specification can be tested on any paper. No calculators are allowed for Paper 2. This specification is designed to be holistic, with a clear structure, and to encourage and motivate students. All students will sit a mock Foundation GCSE exam in November of Year 11. Those following the Foundation GCSE course, if very successful, will go onto study the Higher GCSE course. If a student does not have a grade 5 they will re-visit the Foundation GCSE course and take a second mock exam in January of Year 11. Students following the Higher course will take the Higher GCSE exam in June of Year 11, aiming for a GCSE grade 7, 8 or 9, only if they have a grade 5 from a mock Foundation GCSE exam.

METHODS OF ASSESSMENT?
The course is assessed in three different ways:-
1 SUSTAINABLE DECISION MAKING EXERCISE: 25% OF THE MARKS are from the SDME. The students complete a 1 hour examination with questions based around a resource booklet containing maps, graphs, photos and diagrams. The students will have to answer questions based on this booklet and will have to make a decision about an issue raised in the booklet.
2 GEOGRAPHICAL ENQUIRY: 25% OF THE MARKS are from field work. The students go on a fieldtrip to the Holderness Coastline and get to visit 4 main sites; Spurn Point, Flamborough Head, Mappleton and Scarborough. The fieldwork gives the students an opportunity to collect primary data and investigate the human and physical geography of this coastline. The students stay overnight in Scarborough and complete a write-up of the investigation over the following weeks in their Geography lessons.
3 KEY THEMES EXAM PAPER 50% of the marks are assessed during an exam paper at the end of Year 11. This involves 3 of the units of study. This will test the student’s knowledge of all aspects of the course in an exam lasting 1 hour 45 minutes. The exam also focuses on case studies that are taught on the course and studied in depth these: - Nike and Apple and their impacts on LEDCs - Natural hazards such as the Haiti Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina, Japan - Tsunami and the “Big Dry” - Megacities such as Mumbai and London - Flooding in Bangladesh and Boscastle - China’s One Child Policy and Italy’s ageing population - And many more
The case studies are updated all the time so we often study current events in depth

There are three main schemes of assessment in this exciting course. Core study
A Study in Depth – Germany 1919 - 1945
A Study in Development – Medicine Through the Ages Historical source Investigation
Developments in British Medicine, 1200 – 1945 History around Us
Study of an historic site and its context Germany 1919 to 1945 In this course students will study the problems in Germany after World War One and how these problems helped Hitler and the NAZIS come to power in 1933. We look at how the NAZIS used propaganda, racism and violence to convince millions of Germans to elect them to power.
We look at how the Government of Germany after World War One failed to solve the serious economic and social problems facing the country and how, through their failure to act, they helped Hitler gain power. An example of this was the failure of the Communist Party and Social Democratic Party to unite against their common NAZI enemies. They would pay dearly for this when the NAZIS took over.
But what was life like in Germany when the NAZIS became the Government and Hitler the leader? We look at what life was like in NAZI Germany, the role of women, what it was like to be in the Hitler Youth movement, how the NAZIS persecuted and eventually mass murdered millions of Jews in Germany and across Europe. The NAZIS treated all opposition to their rule in a ruthless way, but through study we can discover that there were still thousands prepared to fight the NAZIS either openly or in secret. Who were these people, what did they stand for and what happened to them? This course builds on and strengthens the work covered in year 9 on Hitler and the NAZIS. Medicine Through Time In this course we look at the development of health and medicine from the Stone Age to the present day. The course involves studying important changes like the development of effective treatments for deadly diseases, such as TB and Cholera.
We study the reasons why changes occurred when it did and where it did. We look at some general factors that repeatedly influenced the extent of progress in Medicine, for example religion, war, governments and just old fashioned luck.
In most years there is a one day field study at the Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds. Here students investigate the History of Medicine on site using primary and secondary evidence.
ENTRY LEVEL HISTORY CORE
11
‘History Around us’ Coursework The 25% weighted coursework sees the students spending a day at Warwick castle investigating the site. The coursework is completed over an 8 hour ‘controlled’ period during school time. The specific investigation question is released every April and usually involves assessing how far Warwick is an accurate representation of a medieval castle
How is History studied in Years 10 and 11?
The key to success in this subject is the ability to respond effectively to exam style questions. The department has many years’ experience in helping students focus their studies on effective exam performance. We try to do this in a lively and relevant way so that students are not just seen to be cramming for exams. We have a range of relevant and stimulating resources to help us achieve success for students.
Study Techniques Within the course we will use a variety of primary and secondary sources and multimedia, focus heavily on exam and revision technique. We will discuss and debate key historical issues and cover some fascinating periods of History. To do this course successfully students must: Have an interest in the areas of study covered above. Have a reasonably high level of literacy. Be prepared to work hard at home, as well as in class. Be willing to ask questions and challenge interpretations about the past.
There is no information available for the 2016 Specification at present.
Assessment a) Core study – 45% (Paper 1)
Historical Source Investigation – 30% (Paper 2). Both papers involve the candidate’s ability to analyse and evaluate source evidence. b) One piece of coursework based on an historic site and its context – 25% Field investigation trip to Warwick Castle (specific question released every April)
