CONTENTS

A The Curriculum at Key Stage 4

The National Curriculum states that all students must follow a core curriculum of bull GCSE English (Double Award) bull GCSE Mathematics bull GCSE Science (Dual Award) bull GCSE Religious Education bull PE (Physical Education) bull PSHCE (Personal Social Health and Citizenship Education) Core Physical Education is taken by all students in Years 10 and 11 but does NOT lead to a GCSE If you wish to take GCSE PE you must select it as one of your options

What are your choices In Key Stage 4 students must follow some subjects as part of the National Curriculum but can also choose subjects that they enjoy or may find useful in their future careers It is important that students take great care in the selection of their option choices and consider the full range of subjects available In addition to the core subjects the vast majority of students will take four optional subjects at GCSE This is a very important time for all Year 9 students when some difficult decisions have to be made This booklet describes the different courses which may be chosen in Year 10 along with information about the core subjects that all students will study during the next two years as part of the National Curriculum Even though the National Curriculum is less rigid than it was we still recommend that students do not specialise too early and so hope that students choose a range of courses across subject areas It is important for many students to have the opportunity to take a language and a humanities (history or geography) subject at GCSE This is because higher education establishments and increasingly employers look for a broader more academic core of subjects Achievement of the English Baccalaureate is a reflection of this academic core of subjects which comprises English mathematics two sciences a language and a humanities subject Whilst the English Baccalaureate is not compulsory for any students at Honley High School it is a combination of subjects that should be seriously considered by those thinking of higher education in the future Further information and useful websites are given in Section C of this booklet

WHAT THE STUDENTS SAY ldquoI chose Triple Science because itrsquos what I need for my future studies I enjoy Science and this allows me to learn more about the stuff Irsquom really interested inrdquo ldquoWhen I first chose the subject I thought it would be really hard but Irsquove found it is very similar to what the other students do except we will do one extra module Also before picking my options I found out that the local colleges prefer people who have done Triple Science This made my choice a little easierrdquo

WHY STUDY SYSTEMS AND CONTROL Local colleges prefer Triple Science to the Dual Science Option due to greater depth of understanding that students develop during the course The key skills developed in the subject are entirely transferrable and therefore viewed very favourably by many colleges and universities As a core subject Science is viewed as essential by many employers and the government Schools minister Nick Gibb has stated that educating the next generation of scientists is crucial if we are to compete with the best in the worldrdquo Clearly students with good sciences have an advantage going forward

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN Triple Science splits the sciences of Biology Chemistry and Physics into individual subjects so it is worth three GCSEs Students studying this course will Gain a broad and deep understanding of many interesting scientific concepts Be very well prepared for further study at A-level Have the time to explore practical science at a more advanced level Develop many key skills including team work independent enquiry effective participation and creative thinking Year 10 learning will mainly be about the core elements of science based around how science works these are key theories and skills Year 11 builds on the previous year and will focus on developing knowledge and understanding

HOW STUDENTS WILL LEARN Students will learn through a variety of teaching styles practical based work paired activities group work class discussions and individual tasks Questioning is fundamental to learning and it is crucial that students become active learners by asking lots of questions Practical work is very important and the coursework element of each subject will require the student to carry out practical work and then explain the science behind the results Students will have access to key websites and online resources that we have purchased especially for this course on top of the usual resources that are used Clearly as more products become available we will try to ensure that we have the most effective resources at our disposal

PROGRESSION Triple science is really important for students wishing to study A-Level sciences or related subjects As a core subject it is required for a large number of courses and careers it is crucial that students carefully research their own requirements based on their choices

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Students will be expected to sit examinations in all three Science subjects at the end of their two year study programme 75 of each GCSE grade will come from the terminal exams the final 25 will come from controlled assessments that will be completed throughout Key Stage 4 Students will be regularly assessed during the two years this information will be used to inform progress and tier entry
