4 CORE SUBJECT CHOICES Core subjects are compulsory for every student entering Year 10, students will continue to study core subjects until the end of Year 11. All core subjects are graded under the new grade system. Students will be awarded 9-1 grades, 9 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. 4

5 GCSE English Language (AQA) English at Key Stage 4 is divided into two qualifications: English Language and English Literature; both of which every student has an opportunity to study. We have chosen this specification as this GCSE builds very smoothly on the skills we teach at Key Stage 3. The students are taught to understand and analyse a wide range of different texts covering the 19th, 20th and 21st century time periods as well as to write clearly, coherently and accurately using a range of vocabulary and sentence structures. There is no coursework or controlled assessment element in this GCSE. Assessment: Paper 1: Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing What is assessed: Section A: Reading one literature fiction text Section B: Writing descriptive or narrative writing Paper 2: Writers Viewpoints and Perspectives What is assessed: Section A: Reading one non-fiction text and one literary non-fiction text Section B: Writing writing to present a viewpoint Non-examination Assessment: Spoken Language Spoken Language is a compulsory requirement of the course of study. It will appear on all students certificates as a separately reported grade, alongside the overall grade issued. Students will be graded holistically with a Pass, Merit or Distinction. What is assessed: Presenting Responding to questions and feedback Use of Standard English Skills Gained for the Future: Formal presenting/interview skills Explaining, describing, narrating Exploring, analysing, informing Discussing, arguing, persuading Understanding/responding Formal writing styles account, letter, argument, recount, diary Appreciating the style in which authors write.

6 GCSE English Literature (AQA) English at Key Stage 4 is divided into two qualifications: English Language and English Literature; both of which every student has an opportunity to study. We have chosen this specification as this GCSE is designed to instil a love of literature into our students at Cornwallis. The GCSE is assessed by two examinations, both of which are closed book. This means that students are not allowed to take the texts they are studying into the examination to reference: instead they are given unseen extracts to comment on from their chosen text. There is no coursework or controlled assessment element in this GCSE. Assessment: Paper 1: Shakespeare and the 19th-century novel What is assessed: Shakespeare 19th Century Novel Paper 2: Modern Texts and Poetry What is assessed: Modern Texts Poetry Unseen Poetry Skills Gained for the Future: Formal presenting/interview skills Explaining, describing, narrating Exploring, analysing, informing Discussing, arguing, persuading Understanding/responding Formal writing styles account, letter, argument, recount, diary Appreciating the style in which authors write.

7 GCSE Mathematics (EDEXCEL) The course is a natural development and progression from Key Stage 3 Mathematics. It offers students the best opportunity to show what they know and can do within the three Mathematics Attainment Targets: Use and apply standard techniques (A01) Reason, interpret and communicate (A02) Solve problems within Mathematics and other contexts (A03) Assessment: Edexcel Specification 1MA1: (Higher) Possible grades 9 3 (Foundation) Possible grades 5 1 Both tiers of entry are assessed by three examinations, one non-calculator paper and two calculator papers. Each paper has 80 marks. The course is 100% examination. Course Breakdown: Over the duration of the two-year course students will cover content on the following key areas: Number Statistics and Probability Algebra Ratio and Proportion Geometry and Measure Skills Gained for the Future: Students will normally need to achieve a minimum of a Grade 6 or above to continue onto AS and A2 Maths at Cornwallis Academy. For most occupations or apprenticeships at least a Grade 5 or above is required. The following areas of employment require at least GCSE Mathematics: - Economics, Medicine, Engineering, Accountancy, Teaching, Child Care, Hairdressing, Fashion, Environmental Studies and ICT. Students who study Mathematics gain a large number of transferable skills which they can apply to future studies and careers. Skills students will develop include: Problem solving in a variety of contexts Estimation and accuracy Presenting and analysing data in a variety of formats Efficient and effective use of a calculator to support mental arithmetic Investigation strategies The use of algebra in a wide range of applications Solving problems involving shape and space Miss Pateman: Director of Mathematics 7

9 GCSE Science (AQA Trilogy) A study of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. 6 examinations at the end of Year 11, two in each science. Year 1: During this first year of the Science course students will study the first units of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. There will be end of year internal examinations to monitor progress and build evidence. The science department will review the data and progress of each student at the end of the first year a decide on one of two pathways for students. Year 2: One path would be revision of all units with some additional content to complete the triple award, taking slightly longer exams at the end of year 11 and gaining 3 separate GCSE grades. The second path would be to cover the remaining units of the Trilogy specification and start to revise and prepare for exams. This would award a combined GCSE grade worth two GCSE s at the end of year 11. There is no longer a controlled assessment element to the science GCSE s. The aims of all the science courses offered are to encourage students to: Develop their interest in, and enthusiasm for their chosen science subject(s) Develop a critical approach to scientific evidence and methods Acquire and apply skills, knowledge and understanding of how the individual science subjects work and their essential role in society Acquire scientific skills, knowledge and understanding necessary for progression to further learning Skills Gained for the Future: How Science Works (This will be emphasized in all practical work and investigations) The thinking behind the doing Presenting data Fundamental ideas Using data to draw conclusions and evaluate quality of evidence Observation as a stimulus to investigation Societal aspects of scientific evidence Designing an investigation Limitations of scientific evidence Making measurements Mr Williams - Director of Science 9

10 GCSE Geography (WJEC Specification B) The course focuses on the importance of Geography for understanding the world and for stimulating an interest in places. It aims to inspire students to become global citizens by exploring their place in the world, their values and responsibilities to other people and the environment. Geography is a subject that can help students in the future, as it is relevant to everything around them. Students will have access to a range of topics ranging from human and physical Geography. The course is assessed over 3 exam papers, one of which is based on fieldwork. In order to meet the requirement for Geography, students must attend two compulsory fieldwork trips.

For example: Distinctive features of the U.K. cities, urban and rural change, Changing patterns of retailing, Leisure, Global cities, Development issues, Rivers, Coasts, Weather, Climate change, Ecosystems, Water supply and demand and the issues of desertification. Paper 2: Problem solving Geography Students will complete a paper based on any topic from paper 1. Students will need to answer a range of skills questions. This will enable them to complete the decision based question which showcases students ability to think as Geographers. Paper 3: Fieldwork Students will learn about the theory for Geographical fieldwork. Students will then complete an exam on how to carry out fieldwork but also on their own experiences. Skills Gained for the Future: Geography enables students to: Promote better informed decision making Develop enquiring minds Appreciate the diversity of physical and human environments Gain knowledge of the world and current events Additional Information: Through Geography, all students will attend two contrasting field work visits to enhance their learning outside the classroom. These visits will also be used to collect data and practice fieldwork techniques in preparation for the examination paper 3. Miss Ryan - Head of Geography 10
