INFORMATION AND COUR SES FOR SEPTEMBER 2015
Aims of the Key stage 4 Curriculum
The Parkside Federation Key Stage 4 curriculum aims to develop successful, enquiring,
knowledgeable and caring young people with an internationally minded approach to life.
The subjects offered and the time we allocate to these reflects local and national priorities. At
Key stage 4 we are proud of our success in securing students onto the post 16 route of their
choice. At the heart of our design of the Key stage experience are the principles of academic
achievement, breadth and balance. We know that this approach is valued by employers and
higher education, as well as by our families and students.
We aim to provide every student with a clear sense of purpose as they embark on their
KS4 programme of study. We know that when students see their study as a step in achieving
future goals this encourages motivation and determination. Throughout year 9, and into year
10 and 11 there is a defined, continuous process that encourages every individual to explore
their pathways into future study and careers.
How we prepare students for the future
Careers, Information, Advice and Guidance
This booklet introduces the first stage in a very extensive and supportive programme of
preparation for choosing the most relevant and appropriate career and study paths post 16.
These are the main steps in this process:
• Lessons in PSHE where students begin to explore their personalities, interests and attributes, matching these to potential areas of work and study.
• A visit to Anglia Ruskin, so that students gain first-hand experience of what it is like to be at University – this is called ‘Eyes on the Prize’.
• An information evening in January, where teachers from every subject studied by students in Key Stage 4 are available to talk with students and families.
• Optional parent meetings are available to discuss ‘the future’ with tutors and clarify any concerns, as well as discuss and confirm the subject(s) selected as additional choice GCSEs.
• A Year 10 Careers event during the CAS week in July where students spend time with a range of local Employers and Universities finding out about the general processes of applying and preparing for work and study interviews.
• A Year 11 programme of support to select, apply and prepare for post-16 courses and work. Via the CAP application process.
The Curriculum - (see the diagram on the following page.)
Students study a programme of core GCSEs to prepare them for life beyond school. This
provides the important foundation needed to ensure that skills for work and further study
are secure. Good grades rather than large quantities of subjects are the key. We have
designed a programme of 9 GCSE subjects with the lesson time required to maximise
learning in each of these. The majority are subjects that all students need to study, called the
2 Parkside Federation Curriculum KS4
core. They include English (Literature and Language) and Maths, Science, French or French
and Spanish, and Geography or History. Sport and PSHE are also studied along with an
additional subject chosen from 16 potential BTEC or GCSE subjects. The benefits of specialist
facilities on one or other of the two sites and the larger student numbers associated with our
Federation of school allows us to offer a large range of these additional subject choices.
The additional subject allows students to follow areas of particular personal interests. In
exceptional cases there may be an opportunity to study more than one subject if a student
really feels that they have the time and capacity to do this. This should be negotiated on an
individual basis and will depend on availability of places once every student has selected
their first choices.
Future Pathways
For those students who wish to progress onto post 16 study (whether that is IB, A level, or
Level 3 Applied learning) the skills and knowledge acquired through the study of English,
Maths, Science, a foreign language and a humanities subject are fundamental. This suite of
subjects is highly valued by sixth forms, Universities and employers.
For learners who wish to follow more practical or technically based careers, for example,
in the ‘Trades’ or Retail, the core subjects are equally important. Strong literacy and
numeracy skills, reinforced by study in Geography or History are important requirements
for future employability, and a background in Science is vital in our technological age.
These subjects provide a firm foundation to progress to training with employment, or
onto a full vocational programme (e.g. mechanics) at a Further Education College, such as
Cambridge Regional College.
The Wider Curriculum
Sport and PSHE
Every student should participate in health-promoting physical activity. For all students this is
achieved through attendance on the compulsory Core Sport programme for 2 lessons. Similarly,
to ensure that students develop an understanding of the world beyond academic study, every
individual will study PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Employment) topics for two lessons a
week (for those taking French with Spanish, this will be covered in one of these languages).
Extra- Curricular
The range of Parkside Federation extra curricular opportunities is enormous, from clubs
and home language or Latin GCSEs, to subject talks, school trips and CAS activities. This
learning offers the opportunity for pursuing personal interests and goals. Participation in
these activities is a highly important aspect of school life which is recognised and valued by
future employers and post 16 institutions. This learning forms an essential element of every
student’s portfolio of experiences whilst at school. Time to engage in the programme of
activities should be planned for when students embark on their Key Stage 4 courses.

ENGLISH LITERATURE
What you will study:
What you will study:
You will study a range of literary fiction and non-fiction texts, examining
how writers build up description for effect in their writing, and how writers
convey their viewpoint persuasively. Additionally, you will develop your
skills in writing for different purposes: descriptive, argumentative, and
persuasive writing to name a few. Accuracy in spelling, punctuation, and
grammar will continue to be a key focus.
In English literature, you will develop your analytical ability and essay writing
skills through the study of your set texts. These include: a Shakespeare play,
a nineteenth-century novel, a modern novel or drama text, and poetry. You
will need to consider how the writers have used literary devices for effect by
closely focusing on key words, elements of structure, and other techniques
that they have incorporated into their works.
Assessment:
Assessment:
In this linear qualification, all examinations will take place at the end of Y11.
You will sit examinations in both reading and writing where you will need
to analyse and respond to a range of texts, as well as compose your own
writing pieces.
You will undertake a separate endorsement for Speaking and Listening,
which does not count towards your final GCSE grade.
This is a linear qualification, so all examinations will be sat at the end of
Y11. Students are required to respond to their set texts through extract
questions, and essay questions based on the entire work. There is also an
‘unseen’ element, where students respond to a poem that they have not
studied before.
