Pathway 3 The third pathway offers a complete BTEC route and is most suited to those students who completed a predominantly BTEC route at Level 2. Students need to have achieved the equivalent of 4 C grades at GCSE and be prepared to achieve their English and Maths GCSE at C grade if they have not already done so. This route offers combinations of single award BTECs as well as double and triple award programmes. Coursework

Overseas Student I came to Newmarket Academy from Germany, at home we have to choose a profile to study and I chose languages. After spending time in the USA, which explains my American ‘twang’, I came to England to study for my A Levels. I love having the opportunity to study just four chosen subjects, which I can concentrate on in far more detail than would be possible at home where we have to take a number of subjects. I now want to stay here, in England, and go to UEA to further these studies.

Some, but not all the Level 3 courses that we offer require students to complete coursework. There are different

and subject specific requirements. There are some general rules though that must be applied – all coursework should be completed by the deadline. Staff must not be requested to mark work that has been submitted late.

Career in Criminology

I came to Newmarket Academy from St Felix Middle School in Year 9 and have never seriously considered going anywhere else. I have always enjoyed my time here and am now studying PE, Biology, Psychology and Use of Maths at A Level. I am confident that this choice of subjects will give me a good foundation to go on to become a Child Counsellor or be able to forge a career in Criminology after University. My teachers here have always been supportive and have helped me in my choices. Ciara Walton

Homework All students should be spending about 40 hours per week on their studies. This is equivalent to a ‘normal working week’. Some students will do less and some will do more ~ and at the end of the year it will show. Please remember that you have chosen to be a full time professional student - do not let things get in the way of your success. Study Time Most students will have blocks in their timetable when they will not actually be in lessons – these are called Study Periods which should be taken in the following areas – Library, Sixth Form Centre or other classrooms which are not being used. It is vitally important that you use these effectively from the start. Examination Entries It is your responsibility to ensure that

you are entered for the correct public examinations and that you check the entries and supporting details when distributed. Entries will be made by subject staff and the school will pay for one examination per module, per subject, providing that your attendance and commitment to study have been satisfactory. Students must pay for any re-sits. If you withdraw from a subject once the entry has been made, do not complete any coursework, or do not attend the examination, you will be required to pay. Study Skills

I particularly want to forge a career in sport and the opportunities I am getting here, especially in refereeing, are brilliant. I was very pleased to be able to stay on at the Academy having already formed very strong friendship groups as well as better relationships with the teachers.

I transferred to Newmarket Academy from another local school and am very pleased that I did. I didn’t feel that I received the support I needed before, which is certainly not the case here. I am now more confident in my abilities and have been encouraged to follow my ambition and go on to University to study. I would like to study Computer Programming and Software Engineering. These have always been passions of mine after I was given the opportunity to be able to experiment with some simple programming while at school in Glasgow.

That is why we provide a wide programme of extracurricular options including sports and arts options. There is a thriving Sixth Form Committee that organises a large number of events including charity events, visits and trips. Sixth Form students also play a lead role in a number of key school events including productions and sporting competitions.

“Do you have the desire to learn more about the world around you?” Do you suffer from Geosophy? This is the desire to learn more about the world around you. If so, are you interested in studying Geography further? You should be, as Geography tackles BIG local, national and global issues! The world in which we live is likely to change more in the next 50 years than ever before. Geography will explain why, and prepare you for these changes. The transferable skills that Geography develops are an asset in the world of work

today. Geography is all about the future, and encourages flexible thinking. Geographers are good communicators, are spatially aware, good at problem solving, are well rounded flexible thinkers and are computer literate. This is achieved through a variety of thinking skills, field visits, role play and decision making activities and through current affairs media.

www.newmarketacademy.co.uk www.newmarketacademy.co.uk

In the classroom during the first year (AS) you will get a solid grounding in Geography. Human and Physical Geography are studied with two compulsory topics – such as flood management and population change – alongside optional topics which include health issues and glaciations. There will also be geographic investigative work and fieldwork. In the second year (A2) you will step up to topics like tectonics, climate change, world cities and the development of societies. There will be more fieldwork too, with the freedom to choose your own area of research or to use ready-made study materials.

Careers and Progression Geography is compatible with all other A Levels due to the wide variety of skills and issues studied throughout the course. Possible careers: Lawyer, British Antarctic Survey Environmental Officer, Oxfam Diplomatic Service, Tour Guide, Journalist, Teacher, Town Planner, Cartographer, Market Researcher, Meteorologist, GIS, Storm Chaser, Weather Person, News Reader ..... and many more!!

“Sociology will help develop a deeper understanding of this social world and explain issues that directly affect the way you live.”

Course Outline Sociology A level comprises 4 units combined with sociological theory and methods studied over 2 years. AS: Families and Households; Education; Sociological methods A2: Global Development; Crime and Deviance; Sociological Theory and Methods

Careers and Progression Sociology is about you. It is to help you have a wider knowledge and understanding about the society in which you live. As a member of society all students should come to the course equipped with some knowledge of the social world. Sociology will help develop a deeper understanding of this social world and explain issues that directly affect the way you live.

40 40

GCE Sociology has been designed so that students will acquire the essential knowledge and understanding of the central aspects of sociological thought and methods together with the application of a range of skills. It is constructed around key sociological themes such as the way we are socialised, our culture and identity, social differentiation, power and stratification.

www.newmarketacademy.co.uk www.newmarketacademy.co.uk

A qualification in Sociology has become an important requirement for many ‘people-focused’ careers particularly Health Care, Teaching, Journalism, the Police and Legal professions, Social Work, Public Relations and Personnel Management. Much of the research into what is happening in our society is carried out by people with a sociological qualification and sociologists are found in Local Government, the Civil Service and advising the Prime Minister, his government and the other major political parties.

Your A Level studies cover four main topics, and you’ll study two of these each year. In ‘Materials, Components and Application’ - you’ll look at materials, production processes and the impact of cost and design. In ‘Learning through designing and making’ you’ll produce some coursework using your own design with a range of materials and media. In the second year you’ll get to grips with ‘Design and Manufacture’ - helping you to appreciate the relationship between design and technology, or form and function. ‘Design and Making in Practice’ is the practical, coursework part. You’ll make an object and record the processes that you went through.

A Level textbooks, library books, VLE, kerboodle & DVD’s. A dedicated workshop with all the machines and materials required, including CAD CAM facilities with laser cutter and virtual cutter to model your ideas.

Careers and Progression 3D design could take you into a number of exciting career paths. Of course there is product or automotive design. But what about computer generated cartoons? Or maybe CAD for industry appeals to you more? This course could take you into Architecture, Teaching, Manufacturing, Advertising or Engineering.

“You have an idea and - with the use of tools like clay or computers - it comes to life”

Think about the objects that you love. Your mobile phone with its delicious curves was designed on a computer screen. The car you yearn for started life as a reduced size clay model. A building that you admire sprang from the drawing board of an architect. And it’s not a new phenomenon. Our fascination with 3D design goes back to flint arrow heads and earthenware pots. As a 3D designer you are at the crossroads of a number of skills.Of course you need

creativity, in order to imagine the shape and function of the object. But you’ll also need to know about manufacturing processes, materials and marketing. Bringing ideas to life 3D Design is an enormously satisfying career. You have an idea and - with the use of tools like clay or computers - it comes to life. Imagine how satisfying it must be for the person who designed the iPhone or Razr to hold the finished product in their hand

Course Outline

“This course will develop your essential scientific knowledge and understanding.”

If you have an inquisitive mind and want to understand HOW the world works, the study of Physics will provide many of the answers. This course will develop your essential scientific knowledge and understanding, as well as establish sound links between theory and experiment. Some groups of students may choose Physics simply because they enjoy it or because they know that it is highly regarded by Universities as a test of problem solving ability and logical thought. The ability to work in groups as well as independently is

56 56

paramount in your development during the course.

www.newmarketacademy.co.uk www.newmarketacademy.co.uk

A Level Physics is an important qualification for many careers. Some students go on to study physics at University. This may lead to a career in research and development, either in University or in industry. Perhaps the majority of those who study A Level Physics do so in order to apply their Physics knowledge in another subject area at University.

Careers and Progression A Level Physics can also lead to a wide range of careers. This includes Applied Physics, Astrophysics, Geophysics, Material Technology, Forensic Science, Engineering, Meteorology, and Medical Physics. Also complementary with intended careers in Medicine, Mathematics, Computing, Finance, Law, Accountancy and many more areas.
