KS4 Options 2017 – 2019 Guidance

Introduction At the start of Year 10 (2017), you will begin to study a variety of different courses (BTECs, WJEC Pathways, and GCSEs), finishing at the end of Year 11 (2019). Until now you had to study the same subjects every year. “Next year will be very different”. You will continue with some Gold Standard core subjects and some non-Gold Standard core subjects, drop others and perhaps start totally new subjects. Your choices will be very important, but you will need to talk with your parents, teachers and careers advisors to reach the best possible choices.

“The world today is changing all the time”. Traditional jobs and professions have to adapt to new technologies and skills, while brand new industries are created in the ‘blink of an eye’. Employment prospects are always changing, leading to a daunting but exciting period in life. It is important to be sufficiently flexible to learn new skills and re-train when necessary throughout your working life. “For you, these choices are a milestone… They represent your first real choice over your future, both in education and beyond. These choices will affect you as a person, so a good balance of subjects which will ‘open doors for you’ in the future is vital. Of course it is nice to be good at the subjects you have chosen, picking subjects that will open up opportunities, that you enjoy and that will be useful to you in the future is equally important. “very few Year 9 pupils know what career they want to enter”.

“the most important thing for you is to get a broad and well-balanced education”. You should choose subjects… You will NEED for future studies or careers…

You are good at …You like

You should not choose subjects because… Your friend is doing it (you may be in different groups)…

…You like the teacher (they may not be teaching you next year) To help you make your choices, each subject has written a brief factsheet of the course you will study. The compulsory Gold Standard core subjects and non-Gold Standard core subjects have also been described, as this may help you to choose your optional subjects. Detailed on the following two pages is an explanation of current educational developments which will impact on your choices and the qualifications on offer.


Educational Developments

Gold Standard George Pindar School values the importance of delivering a balanced education. The successful progression of our students to Post-16 study, university or other employment and training confirms that this is highly regarded beyond our school. The Government’s White Paper ‘The Importance of Teaching’ (2010) aimed to ensure that British schools have ‘[a] curriculum and qualifications which allows us to learn from and outpace, the world’s best’ and added further weight to this viewpoint. In order to achieve the Governments’ aim, the Department for Education has over the past few years embarked upon a period of consultation and reform of GCSE qualifications. The aim of this reform has been to strengthen and broaden qualifications in order to ensure that our education system meets the needs of students in an ever growing ‘world market’. The key strand of this reform has been the change to the Gold Standard required of our students. This Gold Standard is the measure which Post-16 education providers and many training providers and employers use to allow access to courses and employment. Up until July 2015 students were required to achieve 5 A*-C GCSE or equivalent grades including English and Mathematics, in order to achieve the Gold Standard. The Department for Education has reformed this requirement, with effect from July 2016, to require students to achieve at least 8 GCSEs divided into groups as detailed below:

GCSE English and Mathematics 3 GCSE English Baccalaureate qualifications 3 GCSE or equivalent High Value qualifications

As a result of this reform students who have and will embark upon their GCSE and equivalent qualifications from September 2014, your son / daughter included, will be required to meet the reformed Gold Standard requirements. In response to this reform your son / daughter will be required to choose subjects which fit into these Gold Standard groups. Your son / daughter will be in one of the first groups of students to work towards achieving this new Gold Standard and we believe that following this route will provide them with the best possible opportunity to show case their ability and open the doors to a successful and opportunity filled future.

English Baccalaureate (EBacc) Qualification Suite As part of the reforms outlined above, the Department for Education additionally introduced a suite of qualifications referred to as the ‘English Baccalaureate’ (EBacc). This is not a new qualification, but a measure which is used to indicate whether students have achieved GCSE A*-C grades in; English, Mathematics, Science (x 2 GCSE qualifications), a Humanities subject (Geography or History) and a Modern Foreign Language (French or German). The introduction of the EBacc has already proven to be popular with both Post-16 (Further and Higher) education providers and employers as a suite of qualifications which in many cases, in addition to the Gold Standard qualification, are used to provide access to courses, employment and training. In light of the current growing strength of the EBacc as a recognised suite of qualifications which could impact upon your son / daughter as they progress from full time education or training (see RPA below) to higher education or into employment, George Pindar School is promoting the EBacc as a ‘future proofed’ suite of qualifications. Whilst a number of secondary schools have required their students to follow the EBacc suite, the Governing Body of George Pindar School have decided to maintain our existing, and highly successful ‘open’ options process which allows and enables our students to choose a suite of qualifications which best suit their


interests and needs. As a result our options process provides all students with the ability to follow the EBacc suite, should they wish to do so.

Raising the Participation Age (RPA) The Government has increased the age to which all young people in England must continue in education or training. As a result your son / daughter will be required to continue in education or training until their 18th birthday. RPA means that your son / daughter will be required to choose one of the following options once they complete their time at George Pindar School:

full-time education, such as a school, college or home education an apprenticeship part-time education or training if they are employed, self-employed or volunteering full-time (which is

defined as 20 hours or more a week).

Clearly the impact of the Gold Standard, the English Baccalaureate and the raising of the participation age will affect the option choices your son / daughter makes. If you would like any further information about the Gold Standard, EBacc or RPA please do not hesitate to contact Mr Jones at George Pindar School.

Reformed GCSEs From first teaching in Sep 2015 (Examination in Summer 2017) reformed GCSEs are being introduced over three years. Reformed GCSEs will be more demanding than those currently available, are linear, with your son / daughter taking all of their subject qualification examinations at the end of the course, and either have a reduced non-examination assessment or no non-examination assessment at all (100% examination). In order to allow and enable Post-16 and training providers and employers to identify these reformed GCSEs, they will be graded 9 – 1, instead of A* - G. As a result your son / daughter will receive 9 – 1 grades. This 9 – 1 assessment scale replaces the current A* - G scale and it is currently believed that broadly the same proportion of students who achieve a grade C or above will achieve a grade 4 or above. However, it is being stressed by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations regulation (Ofqual) that thinking of a grade 4 as the new grade C is ‘too simplistic’ and the Department for Education has defined a ‘good pass’ as a grade 5. As a result of this change to the assessment scale your son / daughter will be set target grades and provided with ‘working at grade’ and ‘forecast grade’ data in line with the 9 – 1 scale in their GCSE subjects.


Gold Standard Core Curriculum All students follow a Gold Standard core curriculum during Years 10 and 11 alongside their Gold Standard English Baccalaureate and Gold Standard High Value option choices and their non-Gold Standard Core Curriculum. The following subjects are compulsory:

GCSE Mathematics

Head of Faculty: Mrs Koval-Meth What is it? What do you do? GCSE Mathematics helps students develop a knowledge and understanding of:

problem solving

reasoning

applying maths in context

functional elements of Maths All GCSE exams in Mathematics will include questions that allow students to draw on elements from within and across different topic areas, and questions that allow students to provide extended responses. Assessment: GCSE Mathematics has a Foundation tier (grades 1 – 5) and a Higher tier (grades 4 – 9). Students must take three question papers at the same tier. There will be two calculator papers and one non-calculator paper. All papers will include a mix of question styles, from short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems. The mathematical demand increases as a student progresses through the paper. The qualification will be graded on a nine-point scale: 1 to 9 – where 9 is the best grade. For all question papers, students are expected to have mathematical instruments available for use in the exam. These instruments are defined as:

• pencil (for use in diagrams only) • ruler • pair of compasses • protractor

A calculator is required for use in paper 2 and paper 3 of this specification. It is essential for any student to have a high quality scientific calculator which they are familiar with in lessons and in the exams.

What can I do with this subject when I leave school? Maths is for everyone. It is diverse, engaging and essential in equipping students with the right skills to reach their future destination, whatever that may be. Other qualifications we offer: Entry Level Certificate Some of our students, who may need extra support in building their skills up towards taking a Maths GCSE, will be offered an Entry Level Qualification 1-3 in Mathematics as an extra step to support them in achieving their full potential and obtaining a meaningful qualification. The acquisition of the Entry Level Certificate in Mathematics provides a useful stepping stone towards achieving the more complex demands of GCSE. Selected students can enter for both GCSE Mathematics and Entry Level Mathematics at the same time if required. The qualification is key in enabling some of our students to improve job prospects or to enter the world of work and to operate effectively in everyday life. Further Maths The AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths places an emphasis on higher order technical proficiency, rigorous argument and problem-solving skills. It gives high achieving students an introduction to AS level topics that will help them to develop skills in:

Algebra

Geometry

Calculus

Matrices

Trigonometry

Functions

Graphs. Assessment is linear: paper 1, the written paper (non-calculator) carries 40 per cent of marks and paper 2, written paper (calculator) carries 60 per cent of marks. This qualification is suitable for students who already have or are expected to get grades A and A* in GCSE Mathematics and who are likely to progress to A-level study in Mathematics and possibly Further Mathematics.


GCSE Science (Combined Science - Double Award)

Head of Faculty: Mrs Robinson

What is it? What do you do?

GCSE French

Head of Faculty: Mrs Ronksley What is it? What do you do? GCSE French is an optional subject and you will take your GCSE in Year 11 after two years of study. A language GCSE is a required subject if you would like to leave with the EBacc suite of qualifications. You will be assessed in four different skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Your learning will follow a similar format to Key Stage 3 lessons, with a lot of speaking and listening, but topics will be covered in much greater depth. Themes cover relevant topics such as new technologies, media, school life and coping with everyday situations on holiday. You will follow the AQA course, which involves 4 externally-assessed examinations. Continuing a language to GCSE level will help you to understand how a language works, support your literacy skills in English and give you an insight into the culture of the country.

What can I do with this subject when I leave school? In today’s global economy, speaking more than one language is a talent that employers are looking for in hundreds of different careers. Learning a foreign language improves your communication skills and confidence and can open up a whole new world for you. A GCSE in French can give you access to A-level courses, open doors to a wider choice of university courses, provide you with a great bonus for a Travel and Tourism course or enable you to work abroad in the future, either later in life or as part of a gap year in Europe. For some university degrees, a GCSE language qualification is a requirement. And once you have developed the skills to learn one language, you’ll find that it is easier to learn another – perhaps Chinese, Mandarin, Japanese or Arabic. The choice is yours!


GCSE Geography

Head of Faculty: Mrs Ronksley

What is it? What do you do? Choosing Geography means that you would study the subject to GCSE standard over two years. The subject can form part of the EBacc qualification. The course is split into three fascinating units: Unit 1 Is called ‘Living with the Physical Environment.’ It includes: The Challenge of Natural Hazards like volcanoes and hurricanes: Climate Change and The Living World: which is looking at small scale ecosystems like those in the UK and large scale ecosystems in tropical rainforests and hot deserts. Finally the physical landscape of the UK, with a focus on rivers and coasts. Unit 2 Is called ‘Urban Issues and Challenges’: We consider the pressures brought by growth in cities in developing countries and in the UK, how cities change over time and how that change can be made sustainable. We will explore the difference in wealth and how the gap between rich and poor can be narrowed. How rapid economic growth affects the people and environment of a place and how aid given to developing places can have a wider impact. Closer to home we will look at changes in the British economy and how resources like food, water and energy can be managed. Unit 3 Is skills based, students will complete two sets of field work which investigate the links between physical and human geography in an area –for example the coast. They will then write up their fieldwork and this will be examined in June 2019. There is also an issue evaluation: twelve weeks before the exam students will be given some material on an issue they have to investigate and then answer questions about in the exam. Assessment: Paper 1 Living with the physical environment: 1 ½ hours in May/June 2019 (35% of GCSE) Paper 2 Urban Issues and Challenges: 1 ½ hours in May/June 2019 (35% of GCSE) Paper 3 Students will be examined on their own fieldwork as well as questions on material that has been given to the

students 12 weeks before the exam- this will be about an issue which they have time to explore and understand before going in to the exam. 1 hour 15 in May/June 2019 (30% of GCSE)

What can I do with this subject when I leave school? What do you want to do? Geographers have many very useful skills which can take you anywhere! As famous explorer, actor, comedian and all time legend Michael Palin said:

"Geography is the subject which holds the key to our future"

Geography is a solid academic subject and is well respected by universities and employers alike. Geography graduates have pursued a wide range of careers in fields such as cartography, aerial survey, countryside and environmental management, meteorology, teaching and surveying - as well as embarking on other careers not directly connected with Geography. Employers value the wide range of knowledge and skills that can be gained through studying Geography.


GCSE German

Head of Faculty: Mrs Ronksley What is it? What do you do? GCSE German is an optional subject and you will take your GCSE in Year 11 after two years of study. A language GCSE is a required subject if you would like to leave with the EBacc suite of qualifications. You will be assessed in four different skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Your learning will follow a similar format to Key Stage 3 lessons, with a lot of speaking and listening, but topics will be covered in much greater depth.

GCSE History (Modern World)

Head of Faculty: Mrs Ronksley

What is it? What do you do? Modern World History is an option subject assessed by 3 written exams at the end of Year 11. The subject can form part of the EBacc qualification. You would study the Edexcel syllabus exam course. As a learner in the History Department, you would benefit from well-established courses, a wealth of different resources, and outstanding teaching. Students study Topic One - Warfare and British Society (1250 to present) London & the Second World War (1939-1945) Topic Two – Superpower Relations and the Cold War (1941-1991) British depth option (Currently Henry VIII and his Ministers (1509-1540) Topic Three – In depth study of Weimar and Nazi Germany (1918-1939) During the course, amongst other things, you may study: Oliver Cromwell and the English Civil War The Battle of Waterloo The difference between democracy and dictatorship Germany and the rise of Hitler The horrors of World War One and the Peace Settlements Attempts at Peacekeeping 1919-39 The World after World War 2 The Nuclear Age The Cold War These are topics of interest and conversation that are frequently considered today by people of differing ages, religions and nationalities. At GPS we endeavour to research and present relevant answers to such questions.

Assessment: There are 3 examinations: Paper 1- 1 hour 15 minutes; Paper 2 - 1 hour 45 minutes, Paper 3- 1 hour 20 minutes.

What can I do with this subject when I leave school? History is an academic subject which is highly-valued by employers and further education providers. By following the GCSE course in Modern World History, you will build up a repertoire of skills, including using evidence, empathy, problem-solving, evaluation and judgement. These are all skills which will be essential when you enter further education or the world of employment. You will sample a range of historical experiences which will stimulate interest and enjoyment of History: one that will hopefully last for a lifetime.

GCSE Art and Design

Head of Faculty: Mr Worrell

What is it? What do you do? You will cover a wide range of activities and work in a range of different mediums. Each student must select and present a portfolio representative of their course of study. The portfolio must include both: 1. A sustained project developed in response to a subject, theme, task or brief evidencing the journey from initial

engagement with an idea(s) to the realisation of intentions. This will give students the opportunity to demonstrate, through an extended creative response, their ability to draw together different areas of knowledge, skills and/or understanding from across their course of study.

2. A selection of further work resulting from activities such as trials and experiments; skills-based workshops; mini and/or foundation projects; responses to gallery, museum or site visits; work placements; independent study and evidence of the student’s specific role in any group work undertaken.

GCSE Music

Head of Faculty: Mr Worrell What is it? What do you do? At GPS we study the EDEXCEL GCSE Music syllabus.

Do I have to be able to play an instrument? Yes. All GCSE students receive a weekly group instrumental or vocal lesson from NYCC Music Service. If you are a total beginner on your chosen instrument then you will need to commit to a daily 20 – 30 minute practice routine. All students perform as soloists to the class on a regular basis as well as working in small band groups, and are expected to perform at all school functions. Do I have to sing? Yes. All students are expected to sing during music lessons. Normal musicianship expects singing to be naturally part of learning - “if you can’t sing it then you can’t play it!" Do I have to write essays? Yes, we expect you to use musical vocabulary where appropriate. How do I compose if I haven’t done it before? Your understanding of musical concepts will increase throughout the course as will your technical mastery of your chosen instrument. You will be taught the basic concepts of composition during lesson time and will be able to complete your composition portfolio during the course using technology where appropriate.

Assessment: The exam comprises of:

· 30% performance (15% solo, Grade 4-5 standard, 15% ensemble)

· 30% composition and/or arrangement

· 40% listening / essay paper based around the set works The course contains set works ranging from Star Wars to Wicked with Bach and Jazz thrown in too! Whilst it is not essential to read music fluently at the start of the course, it is expected that students will rapidly learn to read in order to score-read and analyse set works.

Students are expected to use musical vocabulary in their weekly theory/history lesson and homework including practice will be set each week.

Each term students take turns to perform a solo to the class on their instrument. In this way instrumental progress is monitored and students acquire better performance skills.
