KS4
2021-2022Dear Parents and Students,
I hope you are all well. I understand that the last few months have been challenging in so many ways. We are really
looking forward to having all students back in school.
Students, I hope that you are pleased with the Options choices you received through the post and are excited about
starting those new courses in Year 10.
I understand that the change from KS3 to KS4 feels like a daunting time, so I wanted to put together some advice for
you from your subjects that is all in one place. Heads of Department have kindly offered their advice and ideas here
of how you can get ready to study their courses at GCSE. I have also included exam boards as parents often ask me
about these as we head into KS4.
We are aware that you have not been in school for the past few months so please be assured that we will do
everything we can to make your transition back into school a smooth one. We will do our very best to help you get to
where you want to be. Teachers may email students before the summer about summer projects or further reading
so please check your emails. I will also email students a copy of this booklet so you have hyperlinks to texts and study
guides recommended.
How to use this booklet
Subjects are organised in alphabetical order.
Each subject has offered their advice on how best to prepare for starting their GCSE course in Year 10. For each
subject you will find the following categories:
• Top Tips and Advice
• Necessary Equipment
• Prior Reading that would be beneficial
• Useful Websites
• Anything Else
You may wish to highlight any equipment, books or guides you wish to buy/download or tick off any work that
you do before you return to us.
These are yours to keep and use so you may wish to cross through any subjects you are not taking.
Anything that you can do to improve your knowledge or understanding of a subject would be a bonus.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or queries.
Thank you for your continued support. I am looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Take care
