10 Level 1 qualification<br />
For details on the courses above please refer to the individual subject pages.<br />
We expect pupils to make a broad and balanced choice in their options available in the Pathway they<br />
are following. This means for many pupils choosing a subject in each of the entitlement areas of<br />
Technology, a Modern Language, a Humanities subject and an Arts subject.<br />
Applied learning courses include Vocational subjects and Applied GCSE’s which involve a more<br />
practical approach where learning is applied to the world of work. They are not easier options,<br />
requiring a considerable time commitment to meet controlled assessment demands involving the<br />
production of extensive portfolios.<br />
Where pupils have chosen a subject that takes up 2 option lines, (as in the Work Based Learning), they<br />
will be expected to make their remaining choices from two different entitlement areas e.g. an art and<br />
a language in order to provide the necessary breadth.<br />
Learning Pathway 1 (Work Based Learning) will be delivered according to demand. If you are following<br />
this Pathway you must put down one of the following areas:– Land Based Operations, Motor Vehicle,<br />
Hair and Beauty, Catering. When the options are returned we will then work to set up the delivery<br />
locally. The remaining Learning pathways are presented on page 9 that follows.<br />
