Option Choices

SPRING 2020

Introduction Dear Students,

This is a great and exciting time for us to help you shape and create your future! The purpose of this booklet is to help you choose the right mix of courses for your Key Stage 4 studies. This booklet is split into four sections:

What are you going to find in this booklet?

Section A: gives an overview of the curriculum and the choices available.

Section B: details the Core Curriculum which you must study.

Section C: details the subjects available for you to choose as your 4 option choices.

Section D: contains a copy of the options form.

The Curriculum has been designed to offer all students an appropriate study route through UAE Southbank in Years 10 & 11.

Choosing the right subjects

We believe in agency for students which means that you are in charge of deciding your own future. So these choices are yours to make. Of course, you will be guided by subject teachers in consultation with your parents to choose subjects that you want to take.

You should take account how much the subject interests you and how much you enjoy the subject. Some of you are lucky enough to know what you want to do later on in your working life and therefore might be considering subjects that relate to your career path. There is nothing wrong with this but remember you may and probably will change your career plans as you get older.

Do not pick subjects because your friends are or because you like the teacher. Make your choices because they are right for you.

Please note that whilst you are being asked to express a preference for courses in Years 10 and 11 we reserve the right to adjust courses and options to ensure that our timetable and curriculum are viable for the benefit of the maximum number of our students. For instance this may mean that some courses will not run if there are not enough students who want to take them or if they are oversubscribed.

Section A

Key Stage Four Curriculum Overview

Rationale

Students will have agency in their Key Stage 4 course choices. Students should be able to study whatever subject they wish regardless of ability. How well they enjoy the subject and how much progress we can help them make, should be the important drivers in success measures not solely outcomes.

What students can choose

Students will make 4 option choices from the following subjects. They can choose GCSEs and BTECs, option blocks will be created from these choices.

GCSEs: Product Design, Computer Science, Spanish, History, Geography, Sociology, Art, Music, Drama, Business Studies and PE.

BTECs: Engineering, PE, Business Studies Option blocks will be created from these choices to fit

The English BaccalaureateThe English Baccalaureate (EBacc) is a performance measure for any student who achieves good GCSE or accredited Certificate passes (5+) in English, Mathematics, History or Geography, two Sciences and a Language.

Option Choices

What students can choose

Students will make 4 option choices: They can pick from BTEC Engineering, GCSE Product Design, GCSE Computer Science, GCSE Spanish, GCSE History, GCSE Geography, GCSE Sociology, GCSE Art, GCSE Music, GCSE Drama, GCSE Business Studies, BTEC Business Studies, GCSE PE and BTEC PE. Option blocks will be created from these choices to fit.

Breadth and Depth

We encourage students to choose a broad range of subjects. We think it is a good idea to study at least one practical subject, a Humanity (History, Geography) and (or) a Language. We will monitor student choices as they come in and provide advice if we think a student is in danger of picking subjects which are very similar in nature.

Title of Course Mathematics No. of GCSEs 1Level GCSE Exam Board EdexcelCourse Spec 1MA1 QAN Code 601/4700/3

What the subject is about

Mathematics is about understanding and manipulating all of the numerical, geometric, algebraic and statistical connections in the world around us. From the tiniest sub-atomic particle in CERN’s LHC to the rate of expansion of the entire universe, everything we know of and about is governed by one equation or another and it is the job of the mathematician to make sense of this and develop the skills to interact with all of these connections.


All areas of mathematics are inter-connected and each mini-project within each Module will connect to various areas of mathematics. As such, the different branches of mathematics cannot be separated within any context. But for the formal GCSE assessment, the following title headings describe the skills that will be learned across KS4:

Number

Structure and CalculationFractions, Decimals, PercentagesMeasures and AccuracyRatio, Proportion and Rates of Change

Algebra

Notation, Vocabulary, ManipulationGraphsSolving Equations and InequalitiesSequences

Geometry and MeasuresProperties and ConstructionsMensuration and CalculationVectors

Data ProbabilityStatistics

How will students learnYou will learn in a variety of ways, including collaborative team-based, collaborative group-based and independent. Lessons and independent assignments will have a variety of structures and aims. You will complete mini projects, each of which will be assessed (again, in a variety of ways), which develop your skills in preparation for your formal assessments.

Independent learningThroughout the course, independent learning is essential for progress and you will be expected to review and extend learning that takes place during lessons, as well as prepare for lessons by researching or completing other relevant tasks.


All exam-based; three 90-minute exams in summer each word exactly one third, one of which prohibits calculator usage.The three papers together follow these key Assessment Objective (AOs):AO1 Use and apply standard techniques.(Foundation = 50%, Higher = 40%)AO2 Reason, interpret and communicate mathematically.(Foundation = 25%, Higher = 30%)AO3 Solve problems within mathematics and in other contexts.(Foundation = 25%, Higher = 30%

Your future careerMathematics is central to all STEM disciplines and as such can provide a foundation for understanding of and skills-development in all STEM industries. Its connections with Computer Science, Science, Engineering and Technology underpin its status as both the most employable degree and one of the most adaptable A-level courses.

By taking a language at GCSE you’ll have amazing skills and a valuable talent that’s applicable to almost everything you do – it is a concrete and demonstrable life-skill. It can help you see things from a range of perspectives, develop your problem-solving skills, and make you more adaptable, resourceful and creative. Learning a language combines the intellectual with the practical, as no other subject does. You need to be able to think on your feet, but when you can find exactly the right foreign word or phrase, you get a real sense of achievement.


Students will learn to discuss a wide range of topics, including:

● Identity and culture

● Local, national, international and global areas of interest

● Current and future study and employmentStudents will also develop a wide range of transferable skills, such as memorising, communication, adaptability and reasoning.


Teachers will employ a wide range of strategies to communicate the essential skills and knowledge with students. This will often include:

● A range of presentation methods

● Investigative skills

● Finding out about the Spanish speaking world and culture

● Pair work and Group work

● Learning new vocabulary

● Learning and practising through games

● Language Learning websites

●


We expect students to complete Independent Learning, on a regular basis. This will include:

● Learning new vocabulary and its spelling as well as grammar on a weekly basis

● Answering set questions, in preparation for Assessments

● Research Tasks

● Revising for the Speaking and Writing components, by memorising answers


The Spanish GCSE is divided into 4 components:

● Listening Paper (Foundation/Higher) – end of Y11 (25%, 40 marks/50 marks)

● Reading Paper (Foundation/Higher) – end of Y11 (25%, 60 marks)

● Writing Paper (Foundation/Higher) – end of Y11 (25% 50 marks/60 marks)

● Non-exam assessment: 3 tasks a role-play, photo card, and general conversation (25%, 60 marks)


Spanish is the second most widely spoken language on Earth after Mandarin and 21 countries in the world list Spanish as an official language. This contributes to the high demand for Spanish speakers in the global market today. It is not necessary to be completely fluent in a foreign language to be an asset to any potential employer, both in the UK and abroad. As a result, many universities, including the Russell Group (the top Universities in the UK) have a language qualification as an entry requirement. In other words, a language qualification will often be the determining factor for recruitment by employers and universities alike.
