CURRICULUM
LEVELS AND QUALIFICATIONS
Advertisement
The courses on offer at EHC will allow students to gain either Level 2 or Level 3 qualifications. Depending on prior attainment at Key Stage 4, students will either select all Level 3 qualifications or a blend of Level 2 and Level 3.
• Level 3 courses: A Levels and Level 3 vocational/ technical qualifications • Level 2 courses: GCSE English and GCSE Maths.
If they have not gained a grade 4 in GCSE English or
Maths, students must continue to study to gain either of these qualifications throughout their time at EHC.
AS AND A LEVELS
Since 2015, all AS and A level qualifications have been reformed. The main aspect of this reform is that AS (Year 12) and A2 (Year 13) qualifications have been ‘decoupled’. This means that they are standalone qualifications where attainment at AS does not have any impact on the final A Level grade at the end of Year 13. Content that is assessed at the end of Year 12 in the AS will be assessed again at the end of Year 13 as part of the A Level.
Due to these changes, EHC has made the decision that students will not sit the AS qualification and will only be assessed in external examinations for the A Level at the end of Year 13.
The following subjects are vocational/technical qualifications and there may be opportunities for assessment and exams to take place during and at the end of Year 12 and Year 13
• Health and Social Care • ICT • Tourism • Medical Science
For Year 12 there will be formal end of year examinations for all subjects in June 2021 and Year 13 will sit formal mock examinations in December 2020.
TYPICAL PROGRAMME OF STUDY FOR AN EHC STUDENT EACH WEEK:
• 3 A Level courses selected – 5 hours of contact time per subject = 15 hours • Extended Project Qualification or AS Core Maths – 2 hours of contact time, 3 hours non-contact time per week (not running currently for Year 12 students) • Weekly Guidance session and/or assembly – 1 hour • Enrichment – Wednesdays from lunchtime once we are able to
