Mr Clayton - Year 10
Why now?
Science GCSE has never been harder! Science is now a 2 year linear course with no
coursework.
Pupils need to consolidate work throughout the
“cram” at the end.
Year 10 contains approximately 70% of the total
content.
Good habits now make Year 11 so much easier.
What is available for my child to revise?
The Science department gives many ways
for a pupil to revise and consolidate their knowledge and learning.
1.Bought Revision guides. These are £5 for
combined and £9 for those sitting Triple
school or from other book shops (where the price increases).
What is available for my child to revise?
1.Teacher produced revision guides. Free and
available electronically.
2.The Year 11 Personal Intervention
Programme on the School shared
(discussed later) and also at least one, 2 to 4 minute video, on each lesson in the whole
The Year 11 Personal Intervention Programme
Revision Guides +1
As discussed before there are different
revision guides for different learners.
1.Large guides which map directly to the
national curriculum programme of study.
2.Pixl Study mats for the information condensed
to 30 sides of A4 in a very structured way.
3.Absolute basics on 6 sides of A4 which if
learned completely should allow the pupil to get a basic pass in Science.
Revision Guides +2
1.Progress questions indicators 2.100’s of past paper questions directed
towards the individual units, all with answers.
3.PowerPoints of every single lesson taught
Where do I find all this?
On the shared pupil documents. Via the website at Philipshigh.co.uk/moodle Via your “show my homework” inbox. All of the info, apart
from the videos, have been sent this evening. This is specific for year 10 . You will be sent the information required for the whole of KS4 in November.
If your child informs you they don’t have any work to do,
there are hundreds of question on these portals including all worksheets that are used in lessons (just in case they lose it!)
In closing
I hope you feel that the Science
department is supporting you and your child in these very stressful years, but with early intervention and working together we hope you will find the next 12 months both challenging and rewarding.

60% internally marked coursework – externally moderated by exam board. 40% final theory exam at the end of Y11. This year the pupils have been working on learning the practical skills required to complete the two coursework tasks. These must be completed by October next year. As a result of this there is no revision possible at this point and the end of year 10 exam will be held until next year. Textbooks will be available closer to the time so they don’t get lost.

Coursework has been removed from the qualification, programming skills are now tested solely in the summer exams. To practice these skills all pupils should have Python installed on their home computers, tablets etc. (it’s free!) If this is not possible time should be spent in homework club using the software installed in school. YouTube has lots of very good tutorials from beginner to expert. Many websites have practice tasks with example solutions – coding.bat is one we use in school so pupils should be familiar with it.

Textbooks are currently on order and should be around £3, these will be made available as soon as they arrive in school. Pupils have been provided with printed textbook chapters to support each unit, these should be kept and used to create revision materials. Revision templates for completion, past papers and an electronic textbook are available from the Computer Science folder on the school network and can be copied onto pen-drives etc. (this can also be accessed via the network from home). Additional revision materials and links will be made available via SMHW as
boards meaning much of the work is irrelevant.
Beginning your preparation now is the key to your exam success. End of year exams start on 25 April if your are studying Music GCSE. All other end of year exams take place between 20 May – 11 July
