Content or Programme of Study
AQA GCSE Design and Technology (9-1):
This is a general Scheme of Work for the course as a whole. This Scheme of Work is
designed to equip the students with the skills and knowledge required to complete quality
pieces of NEA (Non-Examined Assessment) as well as allow them to be successful in the
exam.
Exam 50% NEA 50%
It is designed so that coursework sheets can be completed using knowledge gained in
Year 10 and the years prior to the GCSE course (proper) being started. Some of the NEA
will be completed as specific areas of the theory are taught and practiced rather than
subsequent to the completion of all theory and practice. This is to allow the design cycle
to be worked through and allow students to reach and complete the important stages of
their folder to set deadlines.
During the course of delivering the theory and skills, the students should retain the notes
they produce as well as any worksheets that they will use to complete their work.
The scheme and lesson numbers are a guide to be used and should be adapted to suit the
ability of students, resources and overall time available.

A. Fahey
Year:
10 & 11
Duration:
2 Years
Outline of Unit
The following Scheme of Work follows the ‘AQA GCSE Design and Technology (9-1)
syllabus and includes the work that needs to be covered for both the centre assessed
component (NEA) and the exam.
The scheme aims to develop the students’ understanding of Designing and Making
activities and equip them with computer based and hand skills required to produce 3D
products. As such the students will have the opportunity to use, practice and develop

OCR Level 2 Cambridge National Certificate in Systems Control in Engineering
Mr. Hodgson 10/11 2 Years
The Cambridge Nationals in Systems Control in Engineering will develop an understanding of electronic principles, applying these to the manufacture of electronic and electrical circuits, computer-controlled devices and microprocessor applications in engineering. Pupils will develop knowledge and understanding of the design, simulation and testing of microprocessor and microcontroller control systems then consider how a systems design problem is best solved through the use of appropriate sensors, transducers and programmable devices. Pupils are required to test the performance of their design system and be able to transfer their program to a programmable device such as programmable logic controllers (PLC) or programmable interface controllers (PIC). A practical approach to teaching and learning will provide you with knowledge in engineering technology and underpin the assessment of their skills, challenging learners to develop scientific and mathematical techniques, encouraging critical thinking and apply dextrous skills through engaging practical experiences. Pupils will gain an understanding of engineering production equipment such as 2D and 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Numerical Control (CNC). Pupils will benefit from industrial visits to see how Electronic systems control the production and workflow of factories, visiting ambassadors giving an insight into their businesses, and by using our machinery including the laser cutter and 3D printing to become confident in designing and making enclosures and casings for electronic circuits. The OCR Level 2 Cambridge National Certificate in Systems Control in Engineering consists of four mandatory units. A total mark from 4 units will result in an award of a Distinction, Merit or Pass. 1. Electronic principles 2. Simulate, construct and test electronic circuits 3. Engineering applications of computers 4. Process control systems
Curriculum Booklet Year 10 2019/2020
Unit 1 will be assessed through a 1 hour externally assessed examination. Units 2,3 and 4 are designed to provide you with the opportunity to build a portfolio of evidence to meet the learning outcomes for that unit based on practical and computer involved class assignments. This Certificate will provide knowledge towards a future career in Engineering Systems. This may include studying A-Level or a Level 3 Electronics / Technical, Development Engineering pathway at College, or by gaining an Apprenticeship at a local company such as one of the Aerospace, Automotive, Civil, Manufacturing Engineering businesses in Lancashire. This could then lead to University and into a career which uses electronics and control technology to shape our future world for the better. https://ocr.org.uk/Images/150709-specification.pdf Further Reading https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-use-a-breadboard/all https://www.genieonline.com/design/ http://www.icsat.co.uk/ http://www.picaxe.com/Getting-Started/PICAXE-Manuals/ https://www.instructables.com/circuits/

Year 10 Curriculum Overview
In Year 10 pupils are involved in more independent learning activities. They will undertake
a training programme where they will assess their own fitness levels in relation to National
tests and results on all components of fitness. They will record the results in a booklet.
They will then undergo a 6 week training programme experiencing different training
methods which they will personally devise and implement. Throughout this they will record
resting heart rates, heart rates immediately after exercise, and recovery rates. This should
give them an indication of their improving fitness levels. On completing this they will then
retest themselves to see where and whether improvement has taken place.
This is completed by both boys’ and girls’.
The Girls’ will then complete a scheme of Leadership.
This will involve ALL pupils planning and delivering a 3 part lesson to the remainder of the
group. This will be analysed and assessed by peers and teachers and feedback will be
given to the pupils both verbally and written.
Once this has been completed they will receive a certificate in their assemblies which will
depict a pass, merit or distinction, based on their efforts and achievements.
The Boys’ will opt to complete a scheme of work on football or basketball.
In the summer term pupils will complete a scheme of work on athletics and
rounders/tennis (girls) and softball and athletics (boys).
