GCSE Controlled Assessment

For the successful management and completion of all controlled assessment it is imperative that students meet the deadlines set by their teachers. This Controlled Assessment schedule has been compiled to help students successfully plan and complete their Controlled Assessment tasks or activities. Part I – Controlled Assessment Requirements This section sets out details specific to each subject including the number of tasks, mark allocation and approximate length of the Controlled Assessment piece. It is important to note that the weighting of the Controlled Assessment component is not the same for each subject. Part II – Year 12 Timetable This section provides a timetable of deadlines. It indicates final submission dates for each subject. This ensures that all students understand clearly when specific pieces of work have to be completed during Year 12. It also includes a calendar of when Controlled Assessment will take place month by month. Part III –Assessment Plans This section provides a list of the deadlines on a subject-by-subject basis. Part IV-Sixth Form Admission Criteria This section outlines the general and subject specific criteria that a student must meet in order to enter Sixth Form in St. Mary’s.

Good luck with your Controlled Assessment. It is vital to have as many marks as possible before you go into your final GCSE examinations.

Part IV



CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION

TO SIXTH FORM

All students hoping to enter Sixth Form in St Mary’s Grammar School must meet both General and Subject Specific Criteria

This information is designed to act as a guide and may

change for entry to Sixth Form in September 2020



JANUARY 2019

CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION TO YEAR 13 GENERAL CRITERIA ACADEMIC (i) Students must have demonstrated, by their preparation for GCSE, their ability and

interest in working towards good A-level grades. Consideration of a student’s preparation for GCSE will take account of school reports

and/or weeks on electronic report and the student’s full compliance with arrangements for controlled assessment/coursework in those subjects where it is an integral part of the course.

(ii) Students should have achieved a minimum of seven GCSE subjects at Grades A*-C. (iii) In the first instance students with 18 points or higher will be considered for admission.

Thereafter, if places are available students may be considered for admission on a descending scale to a minimum of 15 points, in which case the marks attained will be decisive.

The table below indicates how many points are awarded to each grade at GCSE level.

For a short course GCSE the points awarded in that subject are halved.

(iv) Students should satisfy the Subject Specific Criteria for each A level subject. (v) Students who wish to study four subjects at AS level must have at least 7 Grade A

passes at GCSE level. (vi) When a subject is over-subscribed (i.e. where there are more pupils wanting to take

the subject than there are places available and those pupils have achieved the subject specific criteria) students will be ranked according to their GCSE marks. Students with higher GCSE marks will have preference.

(vii) Criteria may be enhanced at the discretion of the Principal. ATTENDANCE Students must have an attendance rate in Year 12 of at least 95% (unless there are mitigating circumstances which will be discussed at your post GCSE results interview in August). BEHAVIOUR Students must have observed school rules especially with regard to punctuality, conduct, and adherence to uniform regulations, respect for staff, fellow pupils and school property. Consideration of a student’s behaviour will take account of his/her achievement and behaviour profiles, the number of weeks on electronic report/detentions and/or suspensions.

The Principal may review applications by individual students who do not meet the criteria listed.
