Year 9-11 Group:GCSE

Scheme of Learning OVERVIEW

Intent List the units to be covered. Each pupil decides on an Individual work plan. In year 9 pupils will complete a full project. An artist will be chosen first, then the pupils will complete several artist’s copies in a variety of media and mixed media. This work will be mounted to fill an A1 sheet. An artist investigation will be completed by the pupil to comment not only about the artist but to say how they feel about the work of the artist and which aspects of the artist’s work they will be using to complete their own study. Next, they will take photographs linked to the subject matter of the artist’s work and complete a series of purely observational drawings in a large variety of medias and mount it onto an A1 sheet. The final stage of the preparation work is the development sheet. Here the pupil will take their own photographs and create pieces of work in a variety of media in the style of their chosen artist. The final stage is to select their best work from the development sheet (best image and best media) and produce a final piece. This may take any form of media they select, painting, sculpture, collage, pastels, etc. Year 10 – Here the process is repeated from year 9 with an extra term from yr 11 to complete the project. Year 11 – Spring term – exam questions are handed out. Students choose their title and create the 3 preparatory mounted sheets as per coursework. The exam is in the start of the Summer term straight after Easter. Here they complete their final piece in a 10 hour exam. List the overall skills and knowledge to be covered. All media and techniques can be used.

Scheme of Learning YEAR 7 OVERVIEW

The Big Picture: Y7 is a rich and varied introduction to the study of English at KS3. A bespoke transition unit introduces students to 3 high-quality texts – a novella, a graphic novel and a novel – each connected to the wider theme of ‘survival and migration’, inspiring students to engage with a range of pertinent real-world issues: freedom and human rights, identity and race, hope and loss, politics and power. Building from this longer study, students are challenged by a broad spectrum of contexts, genres and text types: an exploration of nineteenth century Gothic fiction; classic Shakespearian drama; an introduction to poetry as a means for understanding themselves and their own journeys; and a collection of myths and legends – from faraway and ancient civilizations to more familiar settings. Through these units, a comprehensive mix of reading, writing, and speaking and listening opportunities develop students’ knowledge and skills building from the foundations laid at KS2 to further spark their curiosity and love of language, promoting the key values of empathy and excellence.

Intent: ‘Learning Programmes’ to be covered: Survival & Migration (Texts: A Different Boy; Illegal; Refugee Boy); An Introduction to Gothic; A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Poetry: Me and My World; Myths and Legends. The overarching intent of English in Y7 is to promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word, and to develop their love of literature through the exploration of high-quality, challenging texts. The first LP in this planning sequence is designed to provide a transition at the start of Y7, building on the pedagogies and knowledge needed to achieve the end of KS2 standard for writing and reading with KS3 objectives woven in. Skills covered throughout the year are in-line with the KS3 National Curriculum, with the aim that all pupils can: read easily, fluently and with good understanding; develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information; acquire a wide vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and knowledge of linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language; appreciate our rich and varied literary heritage; write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences; use discussion in order to learn; be able to elaborate and explain clearly their understanding and ideas; be competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal presentations, demonstrating to others and participating in debate. The LPs which form part of this sequence have been selected to lay the foundations of further study throughout KS3, with carefully considered thematic, textual and contextual links weaving their way into Y8 and beyond. LP1 in Y8 , for instance, builds on the central theme of ‘survival’ established here, but swaps the real-world settings for a dystopian back-drop, whilst updating the Greek myth of ‘Theseus and the Minotaur’ studied in LP5; LP2 in Y8 draws on the Y7 ‘Introduction to Gothic’, developing students’ understanding of nineteenth century context but in a more localized and ‘real-world’ setting; A Midsummer Night’s Dream introduces the students to the world of Shakespeare, which will be expanded upon with Romeo & Juliet in Y8 and Macbeth in Y9 ; and LP4 grounds students’ exploration of poetry in their own context before Y8’s broader cultural focus.

Implementation: • • •

• • •

• •

There will be five LP units. LP1 – Survival & Migration – is a longer LP delivered over the first full term, incorporating study of 3 connected texts, each a different form (a novella, a graphic novel, and a novel). The rest of the LPs are half-termly units of approximately 6 weeks. Through reading in particular, pupils have a chance to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. Literature, especially, plays a key role in such development. The importance of spoken language in pupils’ development across the year – cognitively, socially and linguistically – has also been prioritised. Spoken language continues to underpin the development of pupils’ reading and writing during key stage 3 and teachers will therefore ensure pupils’ confidence and competence in this area continue to develop. Pupils will be taught to understand and use the conventions for discussion and debate, as well as continuing to develop their skills in working collaboratively with their peers to discuss reading, writing and speech across the curriculum. Texts have been selected and resources designed to promote the key values of empathy, integrity, creativity and equality, in support of students’ striving towards excellence. Resources regularly sign-post these qualities and opportunities to support the unifying vision of the Grove. Achievement will be championed regularly via SIMS InTouch, AtL grades, E-praise postcards, phone calls home, faculty and whole-school ‘Celebration’ nominations, and crucially for students via regular, explicit feedback of skills and grades. Independence and study skills will be fostered through challenging texts and questions, group and pair work, modelling, homework and independent reading for pleasure. Flipped learning, literacy tasks, comprehension tasks and creative work will be set for homework. Students’ revision skills will be developed by in-class and homework assessment preparation. PfL ‘recap’ tasks and low-stakes quizzes have been built into all schemes to support more effective knowledge retention and revision. WOW moments: Creating ‘unheard stories’ from a graphic novel; conducting local ‘field’ poetry Literacy skills will be addressed within all lessons with high-quality and challenging texts at the forefront of this strategy. These LPs are supported by the ‘building better sentences’ and ‘building brilliant vocabulary’ resource schemes, literacy-focused homework, LP ‘confident communicator’ key word lists, spelling tests, literacy quizzes, the online ‘Bedrock’ literacy programme, and reading for pleasure.

Key assessments: Formal assessment will occur once per half-term. DIRT time will take place weekly during English lessons. Homework will be peer marked or used in lesson. Teachers will live mark/ sample mark non-formal assessments.

Scheme of Learning YEAR 8 OVERVIEW

The Big Picture: Y8 is a wonderful representation of the diversity and power of the study of English. A dystopian world collides with a rich tapestry of contemporary issues: freedom and equality, survival and sacrifice, power and propaganda, protest and heroism. Building from this longer novel-study, students are challenged and inspired by a colourful palette of contexts, genres and text types: an exploration of nineteenth century Crime & Punishment with a specific spot-light on grisly ‘True Crime’ from the local landscape; classic Shakespearian Tragedy; horizon-expanding poetry; and a masterful twentieth century novella. Through these units, a comprehensive mix of reading, writing, and speaking and listening opportunities develop students’ knowledge and skills, sparking their curiosity and love of language, and preparing them for the rigors of GCSE study.

Intent: ‘Learning Programmes’ to be covered: Dystopian Literature: The Hunger Games; Crime & Punishment; Romeo & Juliet; Poetry: The Wide World; Of Mice and Men. Skills covered are in-line with the KS3 National Curriculum, with the aim that all pupils can: read easily, fluently and with good understanding; develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information; acquire a wide vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and knowledge of linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language; appreciate our rich and varied literary heritage; write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences; use discussion in order to learn; be able to elaborate and explain clearly their understanding and ideas; be competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal presentations, demonstrating to others and participating in debate. This year of study has been carefully sequenced to build on thematic and textual links established in Y7, each unit ‘twinned’ to develop specific understanding linked to text-types, genres, contexts and purposes, providing rich opportunities to acquire and then extend cultural capital in meaningful and intuitive ways. Hence, LP1 builds on the corresponding Y7 unit, connecting with the central theme of ‘survival’, but swapping the real-world settings of the prior unit with a dystopian back-drop, whilst updating the Greek myth of ‘Theseus and the Minotaur’; LP2 draws on the Y7 ‘Introduction to Gothic’, developing students’ understanding of nineteenth century context but in a more localized and ‘real-world’ setting; Romeo & Juliet delves deeper into the world of Shakespeare as introduced in Y7 with A Midsummer Night’s Dream; ‘Poetry: The Wide World’ broadens the focus of the corresponding Y7 ‘Me and My World’ poetry unit to consider wider cultural connections beyond our local and national boundaries; finally, Of Mice and Men bridges the gap between the shorter novella of Y7’s A Different Boy, with a more indepth consideration of historical context in preparation for study of the GCSE novella: A Christmas Carol.

There will be five LP units. LP1 – Dystopian Literature – is a longer novel study and a double-unit delivered over the first full term. The rest of LPs are half-termly units of approximately 6 weeks. Through reading in particular, pupils have a chance to develop culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. Literature, especially, plays a key role in such development. The importance of spoken language in pupils’ development across the year – cognitively, socially and linguistically – has also been prioritised.

The Big Picture: This is the first year of the literature study, and will involve an introduction to the topics of Poetry, An Inspector Calls, and Macbeth as a foundation for their GCSE year next year. All skills will aim to give students an in-depth knowledge that will be built on for their GCSE at the end of year 10.

Subject: English Literature

Year Group: 9

Scheme of Learning OVERVIEW

Intent Units to be covered: 1) Poetry, 2) An Inspector Calls, 3) Macbeth. Due to the split nature of teaching in this year group different members of staff may be delivering individual schemes across two terms to prevent overlap of teaching. All skills will be in line with GCSE criteria: A01 (read, understand and respond to texts); A02 (analyse the language, form, and structure); A03 (show understanding of texts and the contexts in which they were written); A04 (use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures for clarity, purpose, and effect). This year will build on prior learning from KS3, and requires an in-depth study to ensure success in the termination year of study. Implementation • •

•

• •

The units within this year will be structured towards the examination at the end of year 10. They are based upon the students; prior learning, and developing a successful foundation to build upon for their culmination year. SMSC will be developed through the exploration of moral dilemmas in ‘An Inspector Calls’, ‘A Christmas Carol’, and ‘Macbeth’. These texts, joined with the Poetry Anthology, explore a myriad of moral concepts to deepen and challenge understandings. Students will analyse characters, relationships, and themes which will require them to explore how spiritual, moral, social, and cultural factors can affect individuals within a society. The learning programmes within the schemes are built upon the development of skills, embedding positive approaches and consolidating learning. Independence will be taught throughout each unit via the TEEP approach (prepare for learning, clarify objectives, present new information, construct understanding, apply understanding, review understanding). Students will be shown the methods of obtaining and demonstrating knowledge, and then they will be gradually supported to work with greater independence in preparation for year 10. Home learning approaches will vary through the learning programmes and will be a combination of research, consolidation, on-line learning, quizzing, application and creative tasks. There will be one set homework task per LP cycle, and then autonomy is given to staff to decide further tasks on a class-by-class basis. Achievement will be championed regularly via SIMS InTouch, AtL grades, praise postcards, phone calls home, and crucially for students via regular, explicit feedback of skills and grades. This is outlined clearly in the Faculty Agenda plan. Literacy skills are explicitly referenced on each LP Journey and are specific to the course of learning. These may be specific vocabulary choices linked to the unit of study, contextual terminology, punctuation, sentence structures, or irregular spellings/concepts that need to be included in the unit.

Impact By the conclusion of year 9, students will be able to confidently proceed into year 10 and have a solid foundation of understanding for their culmination year of study. They will be able to demonstrate the relevant skills for their GCSE exams, with room to improve upon during the next academic year. The learning for this year will directly feed into the next academic year, with A01 (select and synthesise), A02 (explain, comment and analyse), A03 (comparing perspectives) and A04 (evaluating texts critically) being further built upon to develop skills relevant for the Literature GCSE exam and mirrored skills in the Language GCSE exam at the end of year 11.

The Big Picture: This year is the second year of study towards the English Literature GCSE; based on the foundation year of Year 9 whereby students did a preread of ‘A Christmas Carol’, ‘Macbeth’ and studied ‘An Inspector Calls’ and the Poetry Anthology, they will study ‘Macbeth’ and ‘A Christmas Carol’ thoroughly, develop their examination technique, and both embed and consolidate the skills learned in the previous year of study.

English Literature

Scheme of Learning OVERVIEW

Intent Units to be covered (learning programmes): 1. ‘Macbeth’, 2. ‘A Christmas Carol’, 3. Unseen Poetry, 4. Revision of ‘An Inspector Calls’ and Poetry Anthology, 5. Speaking and Listening All skills will be in line with the GCSE assessment criteria: A01 (read, understand and respond to texts); A02(analyse the language, form and structure used by a writer to create meanings and effects, using relevant subject terminology where appropriate); A03 (show understanding of the relationships between texts and the contexts in which they were written; A04 (use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures for clarity, purpose and effect, with accurate spelling and punctuation). This year will build on prior learning in both KS2 and KS3; it particularly requires the in-depth study in Year 9 as outlined above, in order to ensure students are successful on this course. Implementation • The units within this year will be structured towards the examination at the conclusion of the year. They are based on the students’ prior learning, outstanding areas of learning required and the overlearning of skills throughout the course. • SMSC will be developed through the exploration of moral dilemmas in ‘An Inspector Calls’, ‘A Christmas Carol’ and ‘Macbeth’. These texts, alongside the Poetry Anthology, explore the concepts of poverty, greed, class and hierarchies, empathy, self-improvement, redemption, etc. Students’ analysis of characters, relationships an themes requires them to explore the way in which spiritual, moral, social and cultural factors can affect individuals and society. • The learning programmes within the schemes of learning are all built on development of skills, embedding positive approaches and consolidating prior learning. Independence will be taught throughout each unit via the TEEP approach: prepare for learning, clarify objectives, present new information, construct understanding, apply understanding, review understanding. Ultimately, students will be shown the methods of obtaining and demonstrating knowledge and then will be gradually supported to work with greater independence, originality and verve. • Home learning approaches vary throughout the learning programmes and are a combination of research, consolidation, on-line learning, quizzing, apply to demonstrate tasks, creative approaches. There is one set homelearning task per learning programme cycle (LP1/1) and then the autonomy is given to teachers to give students a further home-learning opportunity on a class-by-class basis. • Achievement will be celebrated regularly via SIMS InTouch, AtL grades (as part of the whole-school approach), praise postcards, phone calls home and intrinsically for the students via regular and explicit feedback of the achievement of both skills and grades. This has been explicitly outlined on the Faculty Agenda plan. • Literacy skills are explicitly referenced on each Learning Programme Journey and are specific to the course of learning. These may be specific vocabulary linked to the unit being studied, explicit contextual terms, punctuation, sentence structures, or irregular spellings that need to be incorporated into the unit.

Half term 1

In Year 8 students learn about the power of the Earth's forces, for instance the effects of earthquakes and their impact on people. They study Africa and look at the key characteristics of the country. Students also consider the impact that our actions are having on the different ecosystems around the world and ways in which we are exploiting them.

Throughout Year 8 pupils should now follow on from the Bronze homework booklet they completed in Year 7 and now access Silver level. These contain skills-based tasks including: ✓ OS Map reading skills ✓ Atlas reading skills ✓ Ecosystem location skills ✓ Identifying countries on a world map with reference to wealth, population and migration.

Spiritual education in Geography inspires awe and wonder at the natural world: both at the physical and human features. It also inspires wonder of the natural environment such as earthquakes, volcanoes and the effect of weather and climate. It also includes the effect that the environment continues to have on development and peoples’ daily lives. Moral education in Geography provides opportunities for pupils to recognise that development takes place within a global context and that local decisions affect and are affected by decisions and processes in other countries for example international aid in Nigeria. Issues of justice, fairness and democracy are central and can be debated in terms of pupils’ own experiences as well as using geographical issues as contexts. Social education in Geography involves the study of real people in different societies (Chile, Nepal, Nigeria, and India). In looking at their own locality and others in the world, pupils’ sense of identity and community can be strengthened. Cultural education involves the study of real people in real places in the present. It provides opportunities for multi-cultural education through recognising commonalities and differences. It also encourages pupils to reflect on their own personal reality of sense of space.

For two areas of study (one of which must be Area of study 1 and the other a choice of one from Areas of study 2 – 4), students must also be able to critically appraise the music from the specified study pieces using knowledge and understanding of the effect of audience, time and place on how the study pieces were created, developed and performed. How and why the music across the selected areas of study has changed over time. How the composer’s purpose and intention for the study pieces is reflected in their use of musical elements. Relevant musical vocabulary and terminology for the study pieces.

One performance must be as a soloist and one piece must be as part of an ensemble lasting a combined minimum of four minutes. The performance as part of an ensemble must last for a minimum of one minute. Repertoire will be determined by the student and teacher. It need not reference an area of study and can be in any chosen style or genre. Students must be able to interpret relevant musical elements as appropriate using resources (eg microphones) and techniques (eg pizzicato) as appropriate to communicate musical ideas with accuracy and expression and interpretation, including phrasing and dynamics appropriate to the style and mood of the music.

Students must learn how to develop musical ideas, including extending and manipulating musical ideas, and compose music that is musically convincing through two compositions. One must be in response to an externally set brief (Composition 1) and the other a free composition (Composition 2). The combined duration of the compositions must be a minimum of three minutes. Compositions can be composed in any style or genre to best reflect the skills, strengths and interests of the individual students. Both compositions must be assessed on the student’s ability to demonstrate creative and effective selection and use of musical elements. Each composition must demonstrate selection and use of at least four types of musical element as follows:, at least two of rhythm, metre, texture, melody, structure, form, at least two of harmony, tonality, timbre, dynamics, phrasing, articulation.

Homework/Revision

Spiritual education in Sociology enables students to consider their own relationships with society and the structural processes within it. This allows students to develop an understanding of how they fit into a larger social structure beyond the individual self or close social groups. The study of demographic issues such as gender, ethnicity and social class also allow students to reflect upon their own identity and develop a greater understanding of how this identity impacts on their life chances and opportunities. The study of ideology and hegemony encourages students to take note of the belief systems that impact on their own perception of the world and assess the effects these have on their culture.

✓

Moral education in Sociology involves pupils expressing their own response to moral issues within society, for example, responding to moral issues referring to the labelling of ethnic minorities and its implications within the education and criminal justice system. Sociology also explores the inequality that exists within society and the causes for this including the impact of capitalism and patriarchy on individuals and social groups. Looking at these topics allows students to fully understand the inequality and oppression that certain social groups experience. Students are encouraged to consider these issues from societal perspective in order to understand the numerous factors that lead to such inequalities.

✓

Social education in Sociology provides learners with the opportunity to learn tolerance amongst a group and reflect upon their own and other people’s beliefs and preferences. Students are required continuously to consider other people’s situations and opinions and reflect this within their work. As a result of this, students develop a greater understanding of diversity within society, learning about social groups and issues that they may not experience on a day to day basis. Cultural education in Sociology requires students to consider the impact that British culture has on social processes and individual experiences, for example the effects of our growing dependence on the welfare system, the impact of the media and the reducing importance of religion alongside increasing multi-culturalism. Students are encouraged to reflect on their own and other culture’s beliefs in order to fully understand individual and group processes. Diversity is central to this practice and students are encouraged to consider other people’s beliefs rather than just basing their understanding on their own individual experiences.

Students must know and understand: • debates within sociology including conflict versus consensus • how sociological knowledge and ideas change over time and how these ideas inform our understanding of the social world • the contextualised work (a sense of time and place) of key classical sociologists Durkheim, Marx and Weber referencing both their view of the world and their contribution to the development of the discipline • different sociological perspectives on social structures, social processes and social issues, including those informed by: feminism, functionalism, interactionism and Marxism as specified in the topics listed below and key arguments (identified through reading and responding to extracts from key sociological texts) • the interrelationship between the core areas of sociology • how to use sociological research methods as outlined in the topics and how they apply in the specified contexts ie families, education, crime and deviance, social stratification. Teachers may encourage their students to undertake small-scale research projects in order to develop their understanding of the practical difficulties faced by the sociologists working in the field • key sociological terms and concepts concerned with social structures, social processes and social issues and the explanation of social phenomena including: society, socialisation, norms, values, roles, labelling, discrimination, power and authority.

Students should be able to: • identify, describe and explain various methods and methodological issues • identify and explain the advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses of a particular method for a specific area of research • demonstrate an understanding of the process of research design for a specific area of research, including practical difficulties and ethical issues • demonstrate an understanding of the relevance and usefulness of various primary and secondary sources for a specific area of research • demonstrate the ability to interpret data presented in a variety of forms.

Cultural education in Sociology requires students to consider the impact that British culture has on social processes and individual experiences, for example the effects of our growing dependence on the welfare system, the impact of the media and the reducing importance of religion alongside increasing multi-culturalism. Students are encouraged to reflect on their own and other culture’s beliefs in order to fully understand individual and group processes. Diversity is central to this practice and students are encouraged to consider other people’s beliefs rather than just basing their understanding on their own individual experiences.
