GCSEPod A fantastic new resource Revision in short bursts Accessible via PCs, tablets and smart phones revision on-the-go Can be used to consolidate learning after each topic Can be used to examine topics not yet covered to get ahead of the game Can be used alongside other revision techniques to boost progress and
performance. English Kathryn Gardner Assistant Head of Faculty English There are actually two qualifications: GCSE English Language (AQA) GCSE English Literature (AQA) ALL pupils at Carr Hill will follow a joint programme of study in Y10/Y11 and the vast majority will be entered for both qualifications at the end of two years. They are exam only no coursework or controlled assessments. This reliance on exam performance combined with a higher level of challenge across both specifications means that we must utilise Year 9 to prepare pupils for the demands of the course. Preparing Y9 for the challenges ahead Y9 schemes of work have been re written to follow the same pattern as Y10 schemes. This combines literature and language teaching so that pupils see all skills as transferrable. We are studying texts such as, Of Mice and Men in Y9. As a former GCSE text, this provides a good foundation and challenge. The text is used to
teach both language analyse and literature skills. In addition, pupils will study a range of associated non-fiction materials to embed understand of the social, historical and cultural influences. This will enable further preparation for GCSE English Language Paper 2 assessment objectives. Assessments will be carried out in the same conditions as Y10 assessments. For example, as we are working towards closed book examinations, pupils will have to learn quotes and not be able to use a plan. They will of course, be guided step by step so that they can accomplish this. Y9 will become very familiar with the exam assessment criteria for both language and literature. By the time they get to Y10, they will have a good understanding of different assessment objectives and what skills and techniques are required. Pupils will be expected to identify assessment objectives and foci just by reading the wording of the question Pupils will be encouraged to work far more independently- both in class and for homework. There is an additional spoken language component that will be listed on students certificates. To prepare for this, a range of spoken language activities will be threaded through English lessons in Y9. Mathematics James Myers Assistant Head of Faculty
Mathematics in Year 9 Algebra, number, ratio, geometry and statistics building on the work in year 8. Learn the skills to enable problem solving. Each fortnight, one lesson will be used for students to spend time preparing a revision sheet before completing a knowledge check. Differentiated target classwork and homework will be given to students from these results. If a student still appears to have gaps in knowledge they will be asked to attend intervention at lunch or after school to catch them up immediately. The revision sheets will be returned to students each year before the relevant topic for revision. How can parents/carers help?

Cathy North Head of Science In Science lessons students will: Do practical work where possible. Extend and develop Maths skills so will need a calculator. Meet new words that they will have to remember the meanings of. Explore the 10 Big ideas about Science through investigation and research. Experience the kind of questions found in AQA GCSEs. Over the year student will: Work on a rota system- to ensure expert teachers for each subject- 12 lessons per subject- 3 rota cycles per year. Undertake Assessment by Test and AWL (Assessment Without Levels) task- allows student to reach higher grades. Undertake work that will be tested on GCSE (so dont lose your books- you need them next year). Will be assessed throughout the year for the ability to undertake Triple Examinations in Year 11 (separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics). Use Moodle to find out how well they are doing and use Intervention sheets to improve their work.
