Year 10 Course outline

Introduction

You can read more about the way the GCSE course is structured on the GCSE summary page. Briefly:

  • In Year 10 You will complete 3 short coursework assignments (Section A). Each will involve writing an 800-word essay, practical work and some self-evaluation. Together these three assignments are worth 25% of your GCSE.
  • In Year 11 you will complete one major practical assignment with supporting written materials (Section B). This is also worth 25% of your GCSE.
  • Finally, you will sit a summer exam, based on a particular theme. You will have a term to study the theme in detail. You will receive the exam paper two weeks before the exam so that you can pre-plan your answers. This is worth 50% of your GCSE.
