KEY STAGE 4
CURRICULUM HANDBOOK
2015—2016 ACADEMIC YEAR
The curriculum in the Secondary School at Tenby International
School (TIS), Setia Eco Park is comprehensive and holistic and this
document provides only a brief overview of what we offer. The
intention of the document is to provide parents and student with
enough information for them to get a ‘feel’ for the curriculum. More
detailed explanations of a variety of areas are provided in ‘sister’
documents that area also available on our website.
The Key Stage 4 (KS4) Experience
The KS4 curriculum at Tenby International School, Setia Eco Park
offers breadth and balance and culminates in our students sitting their
IGCSE examinations. Although acquiring strong passes in IGCSE
subjects is a key goal of KS4, the Tenby experience in Years 10
and 11 is about far more than just examinations. Whilst navigating
their KS4 journey our students are encouraged to pursue a variety of
different experiences and challenges including those within the
formal curriculum but also experiences that stem well beyond it. Our
students will experience camps in both Years 10 and 11, they will be
required to participate in lunchtime and co-curricular activities and to
lead across a variety of areas; some students will represent the
school as they pursue their sporting interests, others will participate in
musical and dramatic productions whilst others still will take up
leadership roles on the school’s prefectural board.
KS4 at TIS is full of opportunity to mature academically and
personally and we are quick to point out that we expect our students
to use the opportunities that they are given to develop holistically.
Please read through this document and should you have any further
questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
Kind regards,
Tenby International Secondary School, Setia Eco Park
Students 'build' population pyramids
in Y11 Economics
The curriculum at TIS is firmly
based on the National Curriculum
for England (2000), leading to A
Levels. Key Stage 4 student work
towards IGCSE qualification.

ASSESSMENT
A Personalised Approach
Personalised progress in all of the IGCSE
subjects that we offer is key to our
learners realising their potential. To do
this we need to have a clear idea of what
a student’s potential is in each subject
so that we can measure how they are
doing at different points against this
potential. At TIS we use a multitude of
data including CAT4 (fourth generation
Cognitive Ability Test) to inform student
targets. All students in Year 10 will take
the CAT4 assessment in September
(students joining after the start of Year 10,
of which there will only be a few, will take
the assessment as part of our admissions
process) and they will then receive
aspirational targets in each subject in
October. Individual student progress will
then be tracked against these targets
throughout the year. Targets will be
reviewed at the start of each subsequent
academic year and re-issued again in
October.
IGCSE Grading & Progress
Throughout KS4 students are assessed
using a conventional grading system that
runs from A* down to G. These grades
are then further divided in to upper,
middle and lower boundaries so that we
can better measure your child’s progress
as they move through their IGCSE
courses.
Every 5-8 weeks from October onwards
the progress of your son/daughter will be
measured against their end of year target
grade. This progress will be reported
using a snap-shot report (see example
below) that provides a student’s Forecast
Grade (FG) and the Value Added (VA) or
number of ‘sub-grades’ they are away
from achieving their end of year target.
For example, if a student’s target is an
upper ‘A’ grade (‘Au’) and they are
forecast a ‘Bu’ then their VA would be -3,
or three sub-grades from target.
Further information about tracking reports
can be found in “How to interpret your
tracking report – KS4”:

pret_Tracking_2014-2015.pdf
University of Cambridge International
Examinations (CIE) and the International
General Certificate of Education (IGCSE)
At TIS, the majority of IGCSEs offered are by CIE. CIE is
the world’s largest provider of international qualifications for
14-19 year olds. They are an awarding body for the
IGCSE qualification, an internationally recognised
equivalent to the GCSE and precursor to post-16 study.
“For learners, Cambridge IGCSE helps improve
performance by developing skills in creative thinking,
enquiry and problem solving. It is the perfect springboard
to advanced study.
Source: www.cie.org.uk/programmes-andqualifications/cambridge-secondary-2/cambridgeigcse/curriculum/ (March, 2014)
Under normal circumstances, Cambridge IGCSE courses
are delivered over two-years and are assessed at the end
of this period through a mixture of written and oral tests,
coursework and practical assessment. The exact
assessment scheme varies between subjects.
In some subject areas, there is a choice between core and
extended curricula making IGCSE suitable for a wider
range of abilities. This allows the school to decide upon the
entry level that is in each student’s best interests. The
IGCSE is benchmarked using eight internationally
recognised grades: A*, A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Grade A*
is the highest level of achievement and grade G is the
minimum awarded. Most post-16 institutions require
students to have a minimum of five IGCSE grade Cs or
above, though more realistically students require a B
grade or higher in those subjects that they intend to study
at post-16 level in order to do well.
The Cambridge ICE Group Award
Where a students has taken seven or more subjects and
their subject selection includes the following, students will
also qualify for the Cambridge International Certificate of
Education (ICE):
Group I: Languages (two subjects)
Group II: Humanities and Social Sciences (one subject)
Group III: Sciences (one subject)
Group IV: Mathematics (one subject)
Group V: Creative, Technical and Vocational (two subjects)
Our options process is set up to ensure that all students
have the option of taking nine subjects and that groups I,
III and IV are covered by all students. Individual subject
choices will dictate whether or not subjects in groups II and
V are studied.
Further information about the Cambridge ICE can be found
at:
www.cie.org.uk/programmes-and-qualifications/cambridgesecondary-2/cambridge-ice/
What We Offer
TIS currently offer the IGCSE in:
 Accounting
 Additional Mathematics*
 Art & Design
 Biology
 Business Studies
 Chemistry
 Design & Technology (AQA)
 Graphic Products,
 Textiles Technology
 Food Technology
 Drama
 Economics
 English as a Second Language (E2L)*
 English Language
 English Literature
 French
 Geography
 History
 Information Communication Technology (ICT)
 Malay Language
 Mandarin Chinese (Foreign Language)
 Mandarin Chinese (Second Language)*
 Mathematics
 Music
 Physical Education (PE)
 Physics
*Additional Mathematics, Mandarin Chinese
(Second Language) and E2L are not IGCSE
options available as choices for all students.
Rather, these courses are offered to students
selected by the school as a means of
supplementing and enriching their learning.
Students themselves CANNOT choose to
study these courses.
The options choices at TIS have been
designed to provide all students with a
breadth of study that will ensure the widest
and least restrictive subject combination with
which to enter post-16 study. For this reason
there are four compulsory areas:
 English Language and English Literature
 Mathematics
 Science - pupils are expected to study at
least ONE science (Biology, Chemistry or
Physics)
 Modern Foreign Languages - pupils are
also required to study a minimum of ONE
foreign language (French, Malay or
Mandarin Chinese). Pupils must have
studied this language in Year 9. If students
are Malaysian Passport holders then they
MUST study Malay.
Students also select four further subjects based on the
options blocks available to the particular year group.
These options blocks change each year to ensure that
they best meet the needs of our Year 9 students
selecting their IGCSE subjects at that time. The nature of
blocking means that some subject combinations may not
always be possible but we do our best to ensure that all
of our students get the choices that they want.
The ‘Contract’
When students select their IGCSE subjects they are
entering into a contract. This ‘contract’ is an obligation to
complete the subjects that they have chosen by way of
being entered for their final examinations with CIE.
The school has an expectation that all students will see
their commitments through to the very end, unless it is
decided by the school that they would benefit from having
a subject removed in Term 3 of Year 11. Subjects
CANNOT just be dropped by students and/or their
parents.
Curriculum Delivery
Each subject area will broadly follow the subject specific
syllabus provided by the exam board. During KS4 all of
the necessary syllabus content will be covered though
the exact sequence of delivery may not follow that of the
syllabus. Although KS4 is exam driven we aim to deliver
lessons that are varied, interesting, activating and
purposeful. Lessons are designed and planned to
ensure syllabus content coverage, skill acquisition
and
to
develop
learner capacities. Where
appropriate lessons will take learning beyond the
syllabus and will stretch each learners understanding
and capacity.
Curriculum Map
The remaining pages of this document provide a brief
overview of each subject’s topic coverage by half term.

 Natural & Organic Forms: Observational & Interpretational Studies
This is the first project on IGCSE Art & Design which aims to give students full
experience of a piece of coursework as well as completing a final piece of artwork
under the 8 hour timed, exam session.
Within this project students will explore all the visual elements of art- Line, tone, colour,
texture, shape and form whilst studying natural and organic forms. This will allow them
to build a big portfolio of artwork consisting of observational drawings and paintings.
 Natural & Organic Forms: Design Assignment
Students will learn about compositional development and be able to develop their
original drawings and paintings, the influences from their artists into a final piece of
artwork.
Using the observational drawings and paintings from Project 1, produce a range of
design ideas for a food packaging product of their choice.
 Final Coursework
This is final major coursework project on IGCSE Art & Design; this should be the
student’s strongest project and the one that they select for their 50% IGCSE
submission.
Within this project students will explore all the visual elements of art- Line, tone, colour,
texture, shape and form whilst studying natural objects that decay or grow. Again they
will build a big portfolio of artwork consisting of observational drawings and paintings.
