Overview This booklet is intended to provide an overview of examined courses in the simplest way we can. More specific information can be gained by clicking links to the exam syllabus and from your child’s teacher.

Examinations (blue) All GCSE examinations take place at the end of Year 11.

Some exams are ‘tiered’ so that students can sit them as either ‘Foundation’ tier (grades 1-5) or ‘Higher’ tier (grades 4-9).

Final decisions about tiers of entry are not made until Year 11.

Practical Assessment/ (NEAs) Non Examined Assessments (yellow) These assessments are internally assessed and externally moderated.

Revision Materials (mauve) This area of the table gives information about recommended revision materials.

Some subjects recommend particular revision guides which may be available for purchase from the department or from local booksellers.

Other departments create their revision materials in-house.

A copy of this guide, with clickable links, is available on our website: www.rodborough.surrey.sch.uk Personalised GCSE examination timetables will be issued to all students in April 2018.

The New Numerical GCSE Grades The Numerical Grades applicable for all Summer 2018 GCSEs (except Technology and IGCSE Business Studies) and how they will be applied is explained below.

The Numerical GCSE grading structure has three fixed, ‘hard wired’ links to the more familiar (old) letters system:  The bottom of grade 4 is closely aligned to the bottom of the ‘old’ C  The bottom of grade 1 is closely aligned to the bottom of the ‘old’ G  The bottom of grade 7 is closely aligned to the bottom of the ‘old’ A Additionally we may expect that:  Broadly, the same proportion of students will achieve a grade 4 and above as previously achieved a grade C and above.  Broadly, grade 5 will be positioned in the top third of the marks for an ‘old’ C grade and the bottom third of marks for an ‘old’ B grade, making it in greater demand than the ‘old’ C grade.  Broadly, the same proportion of students will achieve a grade 7 and above as previously achieved a grade A and above.  For each exam subject, the top 20% of those achieving grade 7 or above will be awarded grade 9.

Timing Syllabus No: 8201 Component 2 begins in Jan/Feb 2018 and culminates in 10 hours (over two days) of supervised work - expected to be February/March 2018

Portfolio work begins in Autumn 2016 Each student must select and present a portfolio representative of their course of study. The portfolio must include both: 1. A sustained project developed in response to a subject, theme, task or brief evidencing the journey from initial engagement with an idea(s) to the realisation of intentions. This will give students the opportunity to demonstrate, through an extended creative response, their ability to draw together different areas of knowledge, skills and/or understanding from across their course of study.

2. A selection of further work resulting from activities such as trials and experiments; skills-based workshops; mini and/or foundation projects; responses to gallery, museum or site visits; work placements; independent study and evidence of the student’s specific role in any group work undertaken.

Whilst there is no need for revision in this subject, students are required to invest a great deal of extra time outside lessons, completing tasks and considering presentation.

The Art studios are open at lunchtimes and after school.

The expectation is that all candidates will use these facilities to complete work and practise their skills.

IGCSE Business Studies Examinations Single tier Paper 1: 1h 30m Written questions requiring a mixture of short answers and structured data responses.
