1 Key Stage 4 Options 2017 Subject information booklet
2 Year 8 is the time when you need to make important decisions about your future. In the next few weeks you will need to choose the subjects that you intend to study at GCSE. There are some subjects (Compulsory subjects) that every student has to take. You are able to choose four additional subjects plus a choice of GCSE Philosophy or PE. The PE department will discuss your suitability for either BTEC or GCSE PE if you select it as an option subject. Before deciding anything, there are some fundamental questions you should ask yourself. Do I like the subject? If not, be very cautious - you are unlikely to do well in a subject you dislike. How good am I at the subject? It is better to take subjects you think you can be successful in. Do I understand what the course involves? Read the subject details carefully, including the subject content and the methods of assessment. How does the subject fit in with my plans for the future? Do I want to enter the Sixth Form, go to College or start an Apprenticeship? Will I be hoping to go to University? If you haven t thought much about your long-term future, now is a good time to start! You will need to study this booklet carefully with your parents/carers. You will have the opportunity to talk to a variety of people who can help you make the right choices your subject teachers, your form tutor, Key Stage Coordinator or Careers Advisor. At the OPTIONS evening for Year 8 you will hear a presentation about your choices. There will be displays from all Key Stage 4 subjects, with subject teachers available to help you with your decision making. Independent Careers advice is available on the evening from Beacon East. Every effort will be made to ensure that each option choice is fulfilled. Where this is not possible you will be interviewed and further discussions with your parent / carer will be needed. From 2018 most GCSE subjects will be graded from 9-1. A grade 5 or above will be considered a good GCSE pass You may not have decided what you would like to do as a career in the future but your choices need to give you the widest possible chances and opportunities. Expecting to go to university is a really important start. You cannot get to university without 3 or more very good A level qualifications (or equivalent) and you cannot begin A level courses unless you have GCSE grades including English, maths and science. In addition, it is expected that a foreign language or history or geography would be the best indicator that you are able to think for yourself and to work independently of teachers and other adults help. Good luck with your future choices and courses - Mr Carter Vice Principal (Teaching, learning and curriculum)
