Sprowston Community High School SIXTH FORM Key Stage 5 Curriculum Map
Key Stage 5 Curriculum Map 2015-2016 The idea behind this is to be able to share with parents the topics being covered in each subject so that additional work/help can easily take place at home, if no homework is set for ple. It will also supplement the coursework outline we have had for some time, arranged by Elaine on where the pressure points in terms of controlled assessments may be within the 2 years. Also ination timing is less standardised across the subjects with early entry for some or all of a course now common practice. This list is however a guide and will undoubtedly be changed. This flexibility may be due to split groups, PGCE teachers, controlled assessment set titles etc. Fine Art/Art Textiles EDEXCEL Curiosities/A bug s eye view Teacher led course work project Thematic Spring Curiosities/A bug s eye view Teacher led course work project Thematic Curiosities/A bug s eye view Personal project and study Teacher led course work project Thematic Student led course work project Personal project and study Student led course work project Spring Personal project and study Externally set Student led course work project Externally set Pre-release materials Feb-May sketch book study Externally set Externally set 40% Exam 12hr practical Biology Year 12 (Year 1) Year 13 (Year 2) AQA 1.
