If your child wishes to study PE there will be a generic PE option which you will need to tick. In September any student who has opted for PE will undergo a screening process which will enable us to see which pathway is more suitable. The screening process will take place during student s normal PE lessons for the first 8 weeks of term. It will involve looking at each student s practical capabilities to ensure that they are placed on the appropriate course. Our aim is to put each student on a course which will enable them to achieve their full potential regardless of whether they are on the BTEC or GCSE pathway. At KS4 level an A at GCSE is a Distinction at BTEC, a B at GCSE is a Merit at BTEC and a C at GCSE is a Pass at BTEC. Regardless of which pathway your child takes, they will still be able to access all pathways in their KS5 choices.

32 Psychology (GCSE) Subject Overview: Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. Psychologists conduct research with human beings to try and understand how and why we behave the way that we do. By studying Psychology, you will learn how Psychologists carry out research with people and what we have learnt from this research. Subject Content: There will be a new specification for GCSE Psychology from next year, meaning you will be studying a brand new qualification. Topics include: Criminal psychology Development Psychological problems Social influence Memory Sleep and dreaming Psychology is all about studying human behaviour, and so you will also study research methods. This will teach you how to conduct experiments, and other studies with human participants, as well as how to analyse the data from your studies and use this to explain human behaviour. Prior learning: Psychology has links with Maths and Science so having a good understanding of these subjects is very important. It is also essential to have a good level in English. Exams: The current qualification is examined by 100% exam sat in year
33 Resistant Materials (GCSE or Technical Award) The Technology curriculum is currently under-going a change and therefore new syllabi have not been written to take into account of these changes. Below is what is currently covered in the Resistant Material course. Course Outline: The course provides students with the opportunity to work with a range of materials including woods, metals and plastics. Students will experience various manufacturing processes using a variety of tools, machinery and equipment. The aim of this hands on approach is to develop students practical skills and their understanding of the techniques involved, while working safely in a workshop environment. Throughout the course students are encouraged to consider aspects relating to design as they create and develop their own ideas and concepts. 33
