Year 10
Curriculum Intention:
The Year 10 schemes of work ensure that students are well equipped to embark on their NCFE enterprise journey. In Year 10, students study the two core units for the NCFE qualification.
This is a decision that many schools make to reduce cognitive overload and to reduce the pressure on a child’s long term memory. During our current situation, we are seeing students having to isolate meaning that they are missing learning. Whilst this has not been a large number and whilst we have not had to have a whole year group isolation, we are keen to follow a ‘Teach, Learn Test’ model that many key groups find beneficial as opposed to waiting until Year 11. We also find that this experience prepares students for Year 11 where they will sit exams for the remainder of their units including unit 1 and unit 2.

Year 11
Curriculum Intention:
The Year 11 schemes of work ensure that students are well equipped to complete the externally assessed exam. In Year 11, students study the exam unit for the NCFE qualification.
We ensure that students know more and remember more about the core units of work linking them to external exam and the digital employment skills required for the world of work. Having a strong understanding of the key features of each unit, computer software packages, and computer programing enables them to make connections and solidify their understanding.
Our curriculum is cumulative and integrated so that the content and knowledge is connected and each activity within each lesson builds on what has come before and acknowledges what is to come.
This enables students to form a firm foundation of business and marketing knowledge so that they are able to read and write accurately to complete the externally assessment.
