Year 11 English

(11A,B,C and D only)

Assessment title:

Mock exams in Language and Literature

Topics being covered in these exams:

Literature:

An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestley

Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

A selection of poetry from the ‘Relationships’ cluster of the Edexcel Poetry

Anthology

Two previously unseen poems

Language:

Inference and deduction, language and structural analysis and

comprehension of a previously unseen fiction text.

Creative fiction writing skills.

Inference and deduction, language and structural analysis, evaluation,

comparison and comprehension of two previously unseen non-fiction texts.

Non-fiction writing skills.

How you can help your child to achieve their best:

All students have been given revision guides for each of the main texts studied in the

English Literature course and these will have sample exam questions for students to

complete in order to test their knowledge and exam skills. For the poetry section,

students should take their anthology home and read through the annotations they

have made in class. They have been advised to spend three hours a week revising

English so parents and carers can support their child by ensuring that they have a

quiet space in which to complete this revision. Another source of revision notes and

quizzes is the BBC Bitesize website; students simply need to search for the text name

in order to access notes on the poetry, plays and prose covered in this qualification.

Students were also given a revision pack to be started over the Christmas break and

they will be continuing with these tasks to aid their independent revision.

For English Language, students will be focussing on this in lessons and in many of their

intervention sessions. However, they can still practice the skills needed for this exam

at home; teachers find that understanding non-fiction texts and how best to analyse

them is a particular weakness in exams so exposing students to newspapers,

magazines, blogs and biographies would be really beneficial for them. The BBC

Bitesize website also has some fantastic resources to help your child with the skills

needed to be successful in this qualification. Finally, students were also given

revision pack to be started over the Christmas break and they will be continuing with

these tasks to aid their independent revision.

Year 11 English (Entry Level)

(11E only)

Assessment title:

Fiction reading assessment

Topics being covered:

Students will be working towards their first formal reading assessment

and this will be focused on fiction texts.


All students have been given revision materials to complete so please

support them in completing these tasks. Supplementary to this, another good

way for the students to help themselves is to practice reading fiction as much

as they can at home. These texts can be any novel or short story of their

choice and after they have read it, it would be helpful for you to ask them

about it. Questions you may ask could include ‘What was the climax of the

story?’, ‘How was the main character presented?’ or ‘How did the writer give

you clues throughout the story so that you could guess the ending?’

How your child will be assessed:

In Spring 2 all students in Year 11 will be sitting a full, 3 paper GCSE mock

examination. All exams are 90 minutes long, paper 1 is non-calculator and

paper 2 and 3 are calculator. Doing all three exams will give us the most

information and a very clear picture of what students can already answer

and what the focus needs to be until the next exams. As this is a full mock

exam, we are aware that there are topics that will be tested that have not

yet been taught, though enough of the specification has been covered this

year for us to be able to see the students’ progress.

Students in Ma111, Ma112 and Ma113 will be sitting the higher tier and

students in Ma114 and Ma115 will be sitting the foundation tier paper. This

does not mean that students will necessarily sit these tiers in the summer but

we feel these tiers are most appropriate for the classes at this time.

Topics tested include:

Place value

Types of number

Fractions, decimals and percentages

Using a calculator

Ratio and proportion

Rearranging algebraic expressions and solving equations

Formulae including substitution and rearranging

Sequences

Angles

Perimeter, Area and Volume including problem solving

Mathematical reasoning

Pythagoras and Trigonometry

Charts and graphs

Averages

Probability

How you can help your child revise:

Maths is best revised in regular short sessions. 15 to 20 minutes every night is

far more beneficial than several solid hours on the weekend.


Combined students are sitting 6 separate assessments each at 1 hour 15mins

in length and will be conducted in exam conditions.

Triple students are sitting 6 separate assessments each at 1 hour 45 mins in

length

Students will be assessed on the entire course through the 6 papers they will

be sitting.

Each assessment will assess a variety of skills including working scientifically,

apparatus and techniques (practical skills) and maths mastery.
