Transcript Preparation for Inspection

The Curriculum Policy….
Ossett Academy will provide a curriculum structure
that provides a deep learning experience for all of
our students, providing them with the skills and
competences for life long learning.
To promote excellence by inspiring students to realise their
full potential, achieve high standards and have the
courage to accept new challenges.
The Future....
The subjects and qualifications studied during
Years 10 and 11 will affect how students spend
their time during the next two years at school. It
could also help with a career or college course
later on.
Students can make choices about some of the
subjects they study, picking those that suit
individual interests and talents.
Changes for September 2015
New GCSEs in English language, literature and maths that
will be taught from September 2015, will contain new
content and will be assessed and graded differently.
These subjects will be assessed by exam only, and
students will be awarded one of nine grades, represented
by the numbers 1-9, with 9 representing the highest level
of attainment.
The new maths GCSE will be more ‘challenging’ with more
emphasis on problem solving. It will also be wholly
assessed by exam.
The new GCSEs will be graded 1 to 9, with 9 being
the top grade
Broadly the same proportion of students will
achieve a grade 4 and above as currently achieve a
grade C and above
Broadly the same proportion of students will
achieve a grade 7 and above as currently achieve an
A and above
