Dear ParentsCarers and Students

This booklet contains information on all Core subjects which students must study as well as Option subjects

available to your child

The opportunity for students to choose the subjects they study is a very important difference at Key Stage 4

hence the need for an Options Evening Students should give consideration to the subjects they are interested in as well as their ability in a particular subject In addition thought should be given to how different GCSE

or equivalent Level 2 courses fit in with future career or educational aspirations

At Brakenhale we value the partnership we have with parents and we are confident that we can provide the

necessary support and guidance to allow students to make informed choices at GCSE It is important to us to make the transition from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4 as successful and smooth as possible for the benefit of

our students

This guide has been produced to help you understand the kind of work students will be involved in during

the next two years as they prepare for their GCSE or equivalent Level 2 course examinations which will take place in MayJune 2022

GCSEs Equivalent Level 2 Courses and Vocational Courses

Almost all of the subjects offered at Key Stage 4 lead to a GCSE or equivalent Level 2 course qualification Many have an examination at the end of Year 11 and an element of coursework o controlled

assessment Information about coursework and controlled assessment in individual subjects is included in the subject pages further on in this brochure GCSE or equivalent Level 2 courses give students the

background they need to allow them to progress to further studies at The Brakenhale School or elsewhere

The Vocational courses we offer allow students to access the full range of GCSE grades (9-1) and consist of a

mix of theory and practice and are assessed by the teacher and through an external examination Students will complete a range of assignments case studies and practical activities and after each assessment will be

given a grade which will contribute to their final result

Yours faithfully

General Information Changes to GCSEs

What does it mean for you

All GCSEs at Key Stage 4 will be under the new system which is more demanding and grades are 9-1 9 being the

highest

What will be the key differences in these subjects

The new exams will be linear As such there will very few controlled assessment tasks and students will take an

external examination at the end of the course Students will be expected to study more content than in the current

GCSEs they will need to learn more off by heart as they go along and they will undertake an increased number of

extended writing tasks Some examples of the increased rigour are below

Mathematics

The new mathematics GCSE will be more substantial and challenging with greater emphasis on solving problems

that require ldquomultistep solutionsrdquo New topics being introduced include ratio and proportions Students will be

expected to learn key mathematical formulae by heart

English

Students of the new GCSE in English language will be expected to read ldquoa wide range of high quality challenging

texts from 19th 20th and 21st centuriesrdquo which they will respond to before using these skills to write creatively and

to persuade there will be increased focus on accurate use of spelling punctuation and grammar In contrast

English Literature will focus on whole texts to include Shakespeare Dickens Priestley as well as a variety of classic

and contemporary poetry

What will the key changes be in some other subjects

The content for other GCSE subjects is also intended to be more challenging and ambitious with more rigorous

assessment Key changes are as follows

bull Sciences ndash introduction of new areas of content and increased mathematical challenge

bull History ndash a wider range of historical periods and a much stronger emphasis on British history

bull Geography ndash greater depth in the study of the geography of the UK

bull Modern Languages - greater grammatical content including the requirement for most examination questions

to be asked in the target language

How will students be assessed

Ofqual have confirmed the following important changes to assessment of the new GCSEs

bull Introduction of a new grading scale using the numbers 9ndash1 with 9 being the top grade Where performance

is below the minimum required to be awarded a GCSE level students will be given a U

bull The use of two tiers of entry will only apply in subjects lsquowhere untiered papers will not allow students at the

lower end of the ability range to demonstrate their knowledge and skills or will not stretch the most ablersquo

Mathematics science and modern foreign languages will have a tiered entry with the foundation tier covering

grades 5ndash1 and the higher tier covering grades 9ndash4

bull All examinations will normally be taken in May and June of the final year

bull Spelling punctuation and grammar will continue to be assessed within English Literature Geography and

History as well as English Language

General Information Vocational Qualifications

BTEC Qualifications

When it comes to choosing option subjects in Year 9 there are lots of things to think about and with all the changes happening in education across the country it can quickly become confusing BTEC qualifications exist alongside

GCSE and A Level qualifications but sometimes are not given the lsquoair timersquo of their counterparts

The aim of this page is to hopefully answer some questions that people might have about the qualifications and

clear up any misconceptions that people may have BTEC and GCSE qualifications are equivalent to each other when it comes to measuring

studentrsquos performance Both qualifications are valuable in their own right and BTEC qualifications are

not worth any less than GCSEs Both will be accepted when it comes to measuring progress and applying

to sixth forms and colleges GCSE qualifications tend to suit students that perform better in examinations and controlled

assessments whereas BTEC qualifications are broken down into units and assignments

Generally speaking the GCSE courses are more theory and knowledge based which is why they are often referred to as lsquoacademicrsquo qualifications BTEC courses tend to focus more on skills and the practical

application of these skills which is why they are often referred to as lsquovocationalrsquo qualifications The GCSE

course is designed so that students sit exams and complete their coursework at the end of Year 11 but BTEC courses have units that need completing all the way through Year 10 and 11

GCSE courses are graded 9 - 1 and BTEC courses are graded from Pass to Distinction Star The

grading system for GCSE and BTEC are different and so it can be quite difficult to compare them in great detail but basically in GCSE qualifications students will get a numerical grade from 9 - 1 whereas BTEC

students will get a Pass Merit Distinction or Distinction Star The table below aims to compare GCSE grades and BTEC grades Unfortunately because of the way they

are calculated they donrsquot quite match up but it might help show which grades are equivalent with GCSE and BTEC For example a level 2 merit is worth somewhere between a C and a B This means that if a

student (and their teacher) was thinking a student might achieve a 4 (D) in GCSE but could get a merit at BTEC because of the way they learn then maybe BTEC might be better for them

If there are any questions about BTEC courses and their suitability as an option then please do be sure to get in

contact to ask The Heads of Departments that run BTECs can all help but if you would rather you can get in touch with Mr Corry (Deputy Headteacher) on rcorrybrakenhalecouk or Ms H Ioannidis (Vocational Qualifications

Coordinator) on hioannidisbrakenhalecouk

Thank you and good luck in choosing your options

Brakenhale School


Tech Awards

We also offer Level 12 Tech Awards which are great for students motivated by a hands-on learning style and they

can study Tech Awards alongside their GCSEs

With these new Level 1 Level 2 courses students can

get a taste of what a specific sector is like

gain skills and confidence that will help them in the world today and prepare them for their futures

The assessment is both internal and external but the external assessment is mainly task based rather than an

examination They are graded and equivalent to the BTECs outlined on the previous page

Brakenhale School


The Option Process

This booklet is only one of the ways that we help students make their choice of subjects The preparation for

choosing options includes the following

The Option Information Evening ndash Thursday 16st January 2020

a) Do select subjects you enjoy studying

b) Do select subjects at which you are successful

c) Do ask for advice and find out everything about a subject as you will be studying it for two years

d) Do not be influenced by the choices made by your friends Their plans for the future along with

their interests and skills will not necessarily suit you Instead you must consider your own future

depending on whether you intend to go into training or further education in Sixth Form

e) Do not select a subject because you like a teacher You may have a different teacher

f) Each student is encouraged to select a broad and balanced curriculum as this will provide a

suitable platform from which further career decisions can be made A broad and balanced
