Key Stage 5 Curriculum Map 2013-4

The idea behind this is 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 example. 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 examination 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.
