If you wish to discuss the possibility of beginning Year 12 with four subjects, then please discuss this with a member of the Sixth Form team.  \nThe BTEC Diploma in Business counts as two A Levels, the BTEC Extended Diploma in Business counts as three A Levels and both the BTEC Extended Certificate in IT and the Cambridge Technical in Engineering count as one A Level.  \nAll students will also have the ability to undertake an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in addition to either three or four subjects and this will begin after Christmas in Year 12.  \nENTRY REQUIREMENTS  \nWe have an entry requirement of 39 points across your best 8 GCSE subjects for entry onto A Level courses and 32 points from 8 GCSE subjects for entry onto BTEC only courses. An explanation of the points requirement is shown in the right hand column. Individual subjects will have their own entry requirements and these are detailed in this guide.  \nENRICHMENT  \nEvery Wednesday Afternoon is dedicated to a variety of enrichment options. These are undertaken on a rota and include competitive or recreational sport, the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award, Debating Society, work experience, volunteering and providing support to younger students in lessons. In addition, we have a dedicated hour every fortnight where external speakers are invited into school. These speakers may provide information on potential careers and apprenticeship opportunities, they may be from a university to provide information on the UCAS process or simply provide an interesting or inspirational point of view.  \nTHE FITZWIMARC SCHOOL SIXTH FORM  \nGCSE POINTS  \nYour total GCSE points are calculated from your best 8 subjects  \n\n| Grade 9 | 9 points |\n| --- | --- |\n| Grade 8 | 8 points |\n| Grade 7 | 7 points |\n| Grade 6 | 6 points |\n| Grade 5 | 5 points |\n| Grade 4 | 4 points |\n| Grade 3 | 3 points |\n| Grade 2 | 2 points |\n| Grade 1 | 1 point |\n\n39 points at GCSE is equivalent to seven subjects at Grade 5 and one subject at Grade 4  \nStudents who do not gain a pass grade in English and/or Mathematics GCSE will still be able to apply to the FitzWimarc School Sixth Form and will have the opportunity to resit these subjects in school  \nART & DESIGN  \nCOURSE CONTENT  \nA level Art introduces you to an exciting variety of experiences exploring both two and/or three-dimensional media. You will be made aware of both traditional and new technologies. You will explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to a range of art, craft and design, from the past and from recent times, including European and non-European examples. These will be integral to the investigating and making process. Your responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities which demonstrate your understanding of different styles, genres and traditions. You will be made aware of the four assessment objectives which are to be demonstrated in the context of the content and skills presented, and of the importance of process, as well as product. This subject requires a high degree of independence and a resilient and creative determination to succeed.  \nTEACHING & ASSESSMENT  \nYou will be taught both in the Art classroom and in other locations, as supports the work being undertaken. You will use sketchbooks/journals to underpin your work, where appropriate. Your work will generate a portfolio of studies.  \nThe courses are assessed using this structure;  \nComponent 1: Personal investigation worth 60% of exam grade. This is a practical investigation supported by written material. The written material must be between 1000 and 3000 words.  \nComponent 2: Externally set assignment, preparatory time and 15 hours of supervised time worth 40% of exam grade.  \nFUTURE PROGRESSION  \nSome r","cbCaidxYfzpBbQg9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidxYfzpBbQg9","pdf",600854,34,"English","# Subject Guide\n## The FitzWimarc Sixth Form Offer\n## Entry Requirements\n## Enrichment\n## GCSE Points\n## Art & Design\n## Teaching & Assessment\n## Future Progression\n## Head of Subject\n## Biology\n## Teaching & Assessment","[{\"question\":\"How many subjects are students recommended to choose for Year 12 entry?\",\"answer\":\"Students are recommended to select three subjects.
