T

O

H

My journey into sixth form was not an easy one. The jump from GCSE to A Level is one of the hardest ones anyone will have to go through in their adolescent life. I had to make a decision on which course was the best for me, at rst I wanted to do A Levels but through speaking to sixth form students and teachers I made the decision to do Health and Social Care, as I wanted to be a primary school teacher.

The Health and Social Care course gives you the opportunity to do 100 hours

work placement in whatever health and social care se ng you would like, whether it be a den st or a school, the decision is yours. Placement is a fantas c real life experience and gives you an insight into what the job is really like and helped me to be er my grade from pass to dis nc on. With the knowledge I had gained through observa on and prac cal work and my improved grade I am now going on to university to ful l my dream. In all seriousness, I would not be doing this if it wasn’t for Campsmount. I don’t just mean the students and teaching and buildings, I mean the expecta on and

mo va on given in order to be successful. Sixth form life is very di erent from school life. Although supported all the way through by the sixth form sta , you become much more independent and are responsible for your own learning. They do a really good job of realising what you are capable of and making sure you get there. There’s no doubt I will miss Campsmount, it has been a big part of my life. Hollie Gladman, 2013 leaver.

Hollie received ‘The Doncaster Freeman Young Person Award’ for 2013

Campsmount Academy 6th Form Prospectus

There is something about the homely feel of the school that makes Campsmount a great place to learn.

The sta , too, aid in this process, obviously. Filled with all kinds of people, Campsmount o ers something that, I feel, no other sixth form can: immediate comfort.

A person can feel truly welcomed into this li le society, this li le family. With the head of sixth, Mr Grove’s, door perpetually open, all your worries can be immediately dealt with—

if not by him, then by the tutors of the sixth form. It is these li le comforts that allow you to focus on the more important things in sixth form . . . like actually doing some work.

The lessons are completely di erent to year 11 as they are much more in mate. The class sizes are small and it is like students and sta work as a team in order to achieve.

There are other bonuses, by the way, don’t think that Mr Grove and his team are the only perk, no. We have Emma. ‘Who is Emma?’

I hear you say. Well, Emma is our very own Duchess of Dinner. Needless to say, she keeps us stocked up on all our culinary requirements. If that is not enough to persuade you to come to the sixth form, what is?

Oh! It might be that we have record breaking results . . . Or something like that.

Music Technology is a �exible, performance-based vocational course.

The aim is to develop the performance skills and knowledge needed to play successfully alone and in a group. This deals with rehearsing, technique, listening to other performers, andthe practical concerns of arranging a concert or working in the recording studio.

There are no formal exams; the process of working towards performances and your development is the main assessment drive.

The BTEC suits students who play an instrument or sing, but do notnecessarily read music or want to do a more academic course suchas A Level Music.

It is ideal for guitarists, bassists, keyboard players, drummers, vocalists (pop, rock or musicals) or jazz musicians.

This is a two year course.

Students who do not complete the full two years may achieve certi�cation at Level 3 Certi�cate Level.

Future Opportunities?

BTEC Subsidiary Diplomas are equivalent to one complete A Level andare recognised by the music industry and all universities and colleges.

The study of BTEC Music Technology is also possible depending on student needs and aptitude.

Suitable further education courses would be a degree at a music collegeor university, or a joint course with music performance and anotherrelated subject

level Biology deals with

life processes, with an

emphasis on human

biology and the ways in which

we are a�ected by, and in return

influence other living things.

In Year 12...Unit 1 – Cells, Exchange and Transport

You will learn about cell structure;

the parts of a cell you can see with light

and electron microscopy, how a cell

can interact with its surrounding and

other cells, also how cells divide.

This allows you to develop your

understanding of the complex transport

systems of both plants and animals.

Unit 2 – Molecules, Biodiversity,

Food and Health

This module focuses on the biological

molecules that are the building blocks

of life, in particular carbohydrates,

proteins, lipids and DNA. The study of

habitats develops your understanding of

the breadth of living things in the world

around us. You will learn to classify all

living organisms, how life on earth has

evolved and how the actions of humans

can influence life on earth.

In Year 13...Unit 1 – Communication,

Homeostasis and Energy

This unit looks at the role of hormones

and nerves in the whole organism

communication systems. The role of the

kidney in excretion is studied and how

energy is involved in photosynthesis

and respiration.

Unit 2 – Control, Genomes and Environment

This unit builds on your knowledge of

DNA from AS Level Biology. Looking at

the role of DNA and how it controls life at

a cellular level. You will also consider the

role of genetic information in variation.

Cloning is studied along with how

industry uses biotechnology.

Finally an understanding of how the

plants and animals respond to their

environment is studied.

Unit 3 – Practical Skills in Biology

You will carry out complex practical

techniques and practical tasks under

examination conditions. You will be

required to demonstrate the ability to

interpret, analyse and process data,

this will also be tested under

examination conditions.

hemistry is the study of

materials; what they

are made of, how they

interact with each other and

their surroundings and the role

they play in living things.

As such chemistry occupies a central

position in science, linking disciplines from

mathematics to medicine and a�ects

every aspect of our lives. Our clothes,

the paper we write on, the food we eat,

even the celebratory drink when exams

are over, all have been improved by

people studying Chemistry.

In Year 12...Unit 1 - Atoms, Bonds and Groups

Takes atomic structure to a higher level

and applies this knowledge to the

periodic table.

Unit 2 - Chains, Energy and Resources

Introduces organic chemistry and

how we make new molecules,

whilst considering our impact on

the environment.

Unit 3 - Practical Skills

You will be assessed on practical skills

used during laboratory sessions.

These assessments will concentrate on

your ability to observe, measure, analyse

and evaluate results.

In Year 13...Unit 1 - Rings, Polymers and Analysis This unit continues the study of organic

chemistry and how we analyse and

identify the products.

Unit 2 - Equilibria, Energetics and Elements Considers the rate and equilibrium of

chemical reactions and also the energy

changes involved.

Unit 3 - Practical Skills

Future Opportunities? The choices with a Chemistry A level

are numerous and varied. For example

you can continue your studies of the

discipline to degree level studying

Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry,

Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry and

Chemistry with Computer Science

Or you can embark upon one of the

many professions for which an A level

in Chemistry is essential, such as

Medicine, Chemical Engineering,

Dentistry, Nursing, and Physiotherapy.

i

e are living in an

exciting age of

technological

developments that mainly owe

their advancements to the

science of Physics.

Studying Physics to a level beyond GCSE

will equip you with skills that are valuable

in ALL science related careers – however,

it may surprise you to hear that many

employers in non-scientific areas are

realising the value of a higher physics

qualification – the question is, have you?

From fundamental particles: quarks and

leptons to black holes and the universe,

physics - as a subject – really has no

equal in scale, depth and diversity.

And, therefore, no wonder it’s a tough

subject; but it’s worth the journey for

those with a passion for learning,

or those that need the subject for their

future career, or for those that need a

bigger challenge than they have so far

encountered, or for... those that don’t

know yet?

Here is a small example of the

importance of physics in sport: Why was

it that our cyclists in the Beijing Olympics

2008 were so successful? Yes they were

supreme athletes; no question of that,

but in addition to that, the cycles and

equipment they enjoyed were designed

and built, according to Professor Dave

Brailsford, performance director,

with ‘superior physics’ to that of any

other nation. Interesting!

What you will learn?The breakdown of the course is in 3 units.

Two of these are assessed externally

while the third unit involves practical

skills and investigative practical skills and

is assessed by the college throughout

the year.

Briefly you will focus on:

Particles, Quantum Phenomena

and Electricity (40%)

Mechanics, Materials

and Waves (40%)

Investigative and Practical Skills

in AS Physics (20%)

sychology teaches

you how to persuade

everyone else that

they are the strange ones!

Psychology o�ers you the chance to develop your knowledge, to becomeinsightful and to make a di�erence tothose around you. I don’t mean that youwill develop super powers, what I mean isthat you will gain a depth of understandingof the issues that are prevalent in oursociety today. Psychology is a subject thatintrigues and captivates. It o�ers yousomething new and exciting, somethingthat you have not tackled before, somethinga little deeper than the average GCSE that youhave experienced over the last few years.

In Year 12...Unit 1: In this unit you will explore

both social and cognitive psychology.

You will explore p eople are a�ected by others

and by social rules. There are two foci to

the social approach 1) Obedience to

authority; 2) prejudge. The cognitive

aspect explores the way that information

Unit 2: This unit looks at three speci�c

approaches: 1) the psychodynamic

approach, looking at Freud’s work on

the formation of personality and the e�ects

of the psychosexual stages of development.

In Year 13...

Future Opportunities?As a career choice Psychology o�ers

you the opportunity to work in a number

of fields, such as: Educational Health,

Occupational, Sport and/or Child

Psychology. Other caring avenues

include: Nursing, Teaching, Social Work

as well as Psychiatry.

Unit 3: This unit covers applications of

psycology to certain areas. As a group

we will explaore two areas. Our choices are:

criminal psychology, the causes and

possible treatment methods for criminality;

child psychology, looking at how children

bond and attach, how development can bea�ected and what possible causes are therefor autism and ADHD; and/or health ,psychology, looks at substance with a focus

on heroin.

Unit 4: This unit brings all our our knowledgetogether. We will look at the problems withde�ning what is or is not ‘normal’, our focusis schizophrenia. The other thing that we lookat is ethics and the morality of psychology asan exploratory science.

GCSE, to 2 in Y12 and then 1 in Y13. This

means that you focus on sports that you

are enthusiastic about and become

a specialist in that area. It will also

introduce you to new and interesting

topics and experiences. The course is

challenging but rewarding and

good fun!

AS Maths

The common route in Yr12 will be

Pure Core 1, Pure Core 2 and Statistics 1;

these three modules will then qualify for

an AS Level.

Core Maths will build on the basics of

trigonometry and algebra learnt at GCSE

and introduces further, more demanding

topics, such as calculus and co-ordinate

geometry. For example you will learn

quick ways of summing a series of

numbers that are in a pattern.

Statistics builds on the data handling,

data analysis and probability skills learnt

at GCSE and introduces new more

demanding topics such as permutations,

combinations and expectation. You will

learn, for example how to work out your

chances of winning the lottery!

A2 Maths

Core Maths will extend the topics

covered at AS and introduce new topics

such as numerical methods for solving

equations and properties of functions.

Decision Mathematics is the application

of mathematical modelling to solve

real world problems, often arising from

commercial and managerial concerns.

It involves the study of algorithms, graphs

and networks. For example you will learn

how to work out the least amount of

cable that a TV company will need to

connect a group of villages

What can you do with A level Maths?Your career opportunities after

following an AS Level Maths course

are extensive. Maths is seen as one

of the three basic subjects which

everyone ‘needs’. An AS or A2 in Maths

will demonstrate to employers that you

have skills in numeracy, data handling,

problem solving and logical thinking.

Engineering, commerce, management,

sciences and computer work all use

elements of maths which you will

meet in the A level course.

nglish Literature is an

extremely broad and

satisfying A level which

will challenge you to consider

new ideas and concepts.

Be prepared to discuss the views and

opinions of critics, analyse texts in detail

and read extensively around the subject.

It is acknowledged by Higher Education

Institutions as a versatile subject and is

recognised as a valuable A level,

no matter what career path you choose.

AS Level:Unit 1: Aspects of Narrative

Four texts must be studied including

Arundhati Roy’s ‘God of Small Things’

plus Mark Haddon’s ‘Curious Incident of

the Dog in the Nightime’. You will learn to

closely analyse the narrative method of

each text.

Furthermore, you will be given an

anthology of poetry dating from 1800 to

1945 that includes poetry from Tennyson,

Browning, Coleridge, Keats, Auden,

Hardy and Rossetti. You will study two

of these poets in depth. Currently we

are studying the poetry of WH Auden

and Christina Rossetti. You will learn to

compare texts through focusing on an

aspect of narrative.

Unit 2: Dramatic Genres

You will study two plays within the

dramatic genre of comedy. Currently

we study Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’

and Wilde’s ‘The Importance of Being Earnest.

You will produce two pieces of written work,

each of 1500 words, one of which

may be re-creative, based on

the plays studied.

A2 Level: Unit 3: Texts and Genres

Within this unit you will focus on

developing your ideas on the

significance of genre through the

‘Elements of the Gothic’

or ’Elements of the Pastoral’. Three texts

must be studied and at least one of

these must come from the 1300 –

1800 era. We currently study Bronte’s

‘Wuthering Heights’, Marlowe’s ‘Dr Faustus’

and Carter’s ‘The Bloody Chamber’.

Unit 4: Further and Independent Reading

You will study at least three texts, one

of which is a pre-released anthology of

critical writing. The aim of the unit is to

consider the di�erent ways of reading

texts and the critical ideas that can

be applied. Your portfolio of writing will

produce two pieces of written work, one

of which will be a comparative study of

an aspect of two texts. The second may

be a re-creative piece based on the

application of critical ideas.

Geography

eography is the study

of the relationship

between people and

their environment.

As a subject it bridges the gap between

pure science and social studies.

This is what makes it the ideal subject

for starting further education because it

gives you a broad base upon which to

build your future career.

The course o�ered at Campsmount is

designed to give you the best possible

chance of success. It consists of 4

modules, which cover both the physical

and human aspects. Two modules are

sat at the end of year 12 to gain an AS

grade and two modules are sat at the

end of Year 13 to gain an A2 level.

In Year 12...Unit 1: Physical and Human Geography

The study of core geographical

concepts. In this module, you will study

2 human and 2 physical modules.

Unit 2: Geographical Skills

A geographical skills paper based on the

content of unit 1.

In Year 13...Unit 3: Contemporary Geographical Issues

An issues based approach to

contemporary geographical themes.

You must select three topics; at least one

from the physical options and at least

one from the human options.

Optional Physical topics:

Plate tectonics and

associated hazards

Weather and climate and

associated hazards

Ecosystems: Change and Challenge

Optional Human topics:

World cities

Development and globalisation

Contemporary conflicts

and challenges

And then you will complete one

of the modules below:

Unit 4A: Geography Fieldwork Investigation

This unit gives you the opportunity to

extend an area of the subject content

into a more detailed fieldwork study.

You take your fieldwork folder into

the exam and use this to analyse and

evaluate your own data and results in

response to the questions set.

Unit 4B: Geographical Issue Evaluation

This unit gives you the opportunity to

use your skills of analysis, synthesis

and evaluation. An Advance Information

booklet is pre-released 2 months prior

to the exam to facilitate your research

into an area which extends from the

following through with the importance

of financial issues at the time and the

problems that were inherited by

King Charles I.

At A2 level:Coursework

This unit is made up of two 2000 word

pieces of coursework and is based on

the two skill elements of interpretation

and investigation. The first element is

based on the examination of a number

of historian’s interpretations of the

Thatcher era of British Government 1979-

90. The second element, investigation,

is a 2000 word long piece of individual

coursework which is linked back to the

interpretation topic

Historical Themes Module

The topic for this unit is the changing

relationship between Great Britain and

Ireland from 1798 to 1922, requiring you

to analyse events and turning points

during this period thematically.

Future Opportunities?History is a very useful subject for a

variety of occupations that require

the skills of thinking, interpretation

and analysis.

Career choices may include:

Teaching

Lawyer

Barrister

Research

Journalism

Police

Archivist

Archaeology
