The two year English GCSE is for students who are in the formative stages of building their English skills. The first year of the course will focus on developing key vocabulary for GCSE, developing accuracy and range in punctuation, spelling and grammar and producing writing in the form of brief essays that allow the student to focus on skills rather than length.

In addition, reading skills will be developed through shared reading of class novels and stories, and creative writing tasks will be designed around the reading interests of the student. The primary aim of the module in the first year is to develop English skills through enjoyment of English.

The second year will build on the skills developed in the first year but a sharper focus on the examination requirements will be a feature, and students will begin to apply what they have learned with reference to the examinations.

GCSE Computer Science helps you think about how technology is created.

What will you study? 

Over the course you will cover the following: 

• Computational thinking: this is the process of thinking through a complex problem, taking the time to understand what the problem is and then develop potential solutions for evaluation. These are then presented in a way that a computer, a human, or both, can understand. 

• Theoretical content: here you will understand the fundamentals of data representation and computer networks. You will earn about the computer systems that you will create and use and also delve in to the world cyber security and ethical legal and environmental impacts of digital technology. 

• Aspects of software development: understand how to implement and test a design to make sure it works effectively. Learn how to complete an overall evaluation to help refine the end product. 

How will you be assessed? 

You will have two written exams which are 1 hour 30 minutes each. Together they contribute 100% of your overall grade. Your programming project assesses your ability to use the knowledge and skills gained through the course to solve a practical programming problem. You will follow a systematic approach to problem-solving and will be assessed over 20 hours of work.
