“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” Malcolm X
Dear scholars,
Welcome to our Key Stage 4 curriculum booklet. Inside you will find key information about the exciting
courses on offer to you for Year 10 and 11, how the options process works.
The decisions you will make over the next week are amongst the most significant in your education so far. In
order to make the correct decisions, you will need to think about a number of things.
Vision and Ambition – What do you want to do in the future? What subjects do you want to study in the
sixth form, at university? What career are you aiming towards?
Sense of Identity & Confidence – What subjects do you enjoy? What makes you feel proud? What are you
good at? Do the range of subjects chosen give you access to a broad and balanced curriculum that doesn’t
hamper your future decisions? Are you closing any doors by rejecting a subject for the wrong reasons?
Commitment and Curiosity – What subjects are you happy that you could commit fully to for the following 2
years? What subject areas are you curious about and hope to learn more?
Remember, the choice is about you – not your friend’s choice, nor is it a choice based on who teaches the
subject – it is about the knowledge you will gain from studying this course.
Study this information, ask questions, speak with your parents, teachers and form tutor – we are all here to
help.
Make good choices, for you.

Key Stage 4 Curriculum Following on from the rigorous curriculum at Key Stage 3, in Key Stage 4 all pupils continue to study a broad
and balanced academic curriculum to GCSE or equivalent, but are able to choose additional subjects.
We believe it’s incredibly important that pupils have a balanced curriculum which offers them a varied range
of learning opportunities. We believe that an academic, knowledge-rich curriculum is an entitlement for all
our pupils. We have allocated considerable time and resources to ensure pupils achieve well across the core
and options subjects. Additional time has also been allocate to PE and electives. We know pupils and our
community value these important enrichment opportunities.
All lessons will be 1-hour long and follow a fortnightly timetable.
The fortnightly curriculum to be on offered for every pupil will be (all lessons are 1 hour) – 50 hours per fortnight:
English (10 lessons) Mathematics (8 lessons) Science (12 lessons)
Three Option Subjects (5 lessons)
PE (2 lessons) RE (1 lesson) Electives (1 double lesson)
Core Subjects
All pupils will study the following compulsory subjects:
GCSE English Language GCSE English Literature
GCSE Mathematics GCSE Science (Trilogy or Separate Sciences)
GCSE Science is taught throughout years 10 and 11 as discrete subjects. Throughout year 10, all pupils will be
taught an identical curriculum. Upon starting year 11, the Head of Science, alongside teachers, will make a
decision as to whether a pupil is examined in Combined Science or Triple Sciences (and therefore sits GCSE
Biology, GCSE Chemistry and GCSE Physics).
Options Subjects
In addition to the core subjects all pupils choose three subjects from the options below.
GCSE History GCSE Geography GCSE Spanish
GCSE Religious Education GCSE Physical Education
BTEC Sport BTEC Performing Arts GCSE Art & Design (Fine Art)
Within this booklet, you will find details about each of the courses above.
Key Information
What grades will I get?
Changes to GCSEs now mean that A*-G grades have been replaced by 9 to 1 grades.
For BTEC subjects you will gr graded as Distinction * (Star), Distinction, Merit, Pass or Unclassified.
English Baccalaureate (EBacc)
The Department for Education has stated:
‘The EBacc is a set of subjects at GCSE that keeps young people’s options open for further study and future careers. The EBacc is English language and literature; mathematics; the sciences; geography or history; a language.’
English - To count towards the English part of the EBacc, pupils need to take both English literature and English language GCSE exams.
Science - Pupils need to take one of the following options:
Languages - Taking any ancient or modern foreign language GCSE counts towards the languages part of the EBacc.
The governments stated ambition is to see 90% of pupils studying a combination of EBacc GCSE’s by 2025.
We strongly advise all pupils to consider taking a combination of options that fulfil the EBacc brief.
BTECH Awards
BTECH stands for Business & Technology Education Council. BTECH awards are a recent set of vocational qualifications which are designed to be taught alongside GCSEs for pupils within Key Stage 4. They are designed to give scholars a glimpse into a professional sector whilst teaching them transferrable skills for life. They are assessed using assignments and practical tasks are level 2 qualifications – equivalent to GCSE’s.
Home Language GCSE’s
As an extra-curricular offer, we might be able to run some tutor led courses for pupils at the end of the school day. The availability of these courses would be based on many factors, such as the number of scholars interested in such courses and the sourcing of quality teachers/tutors to run them.
The courses we may be able to offer are:
GCSE Arabic GCSE Urdu GCSE Panjabi

Course Outline
GCSE Fine Art is defined as that aspect of art, craft and design where work is developed primarily for aesthetic, intellectual or purely conceptual purposes rather than for purposes that have a necessarily practical function. Scholars are required to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and understanding through studying one or more of the following areas drawing; installation; lens and light-based media; mixed media; land art; printing; painting; sculpture.
Assessment
Who should choose this course?
GCSE Fine Art is suitable for scholars with an interest in drawing, sculpture and painting and who are excited
about being creative. Scholars who enjoy Art and are willing to spend time at home improving their
coursework will do well and in Y11 scholars have a say in the direction of their work. A good work ethic is a
huge advantage as the course is mainly coursework-based which allows scholars to add to their coursework
at any time. Scholars will leave with valuable research and design skills, as well as the ability to work
thematically and in a creative and dynamic environment.
