Subject Overview:
Year 11 will have learned most of the IGCSE course in preparation for the exam at the end of Year 10. Year 11 Foundation pupils are given two more opportunities to sit the IGCSE, in November and again in June.
The start of Year 11 will consist of mopping up any topics that were not finished by the end of Year 10; and revising for those who choose to resit in November, looking to improve upon the grade they achieved the previous Summer.
The remainder of the year is taken up with further consolidation of topics, especially going over those taught in earlier years in more depth. Each pupil will be given a breakdown of any formal examination they take, allowing for personalised revision topics to be allocated and goals to be met.
Assessments:
Year 11 tend not to sit internal end of unit assessments, but they may be given informal mocks throughout the year. Pupils will be given two opportunities to sit the IGCSE exam: once in November soon after restarting school, and once more in the following Summer examination series.
