Science Through discovery and collaboration, we flourish Go Go Our Science curriculum intends to: Make critical thinking and independence the foundation of learning and inspire a love of learning, self- discovery, and collaboration in all our pupils. Develop pupils’ deep understanding of the world around them and their role in creating an environmentally sustainable future for our planet. Enable pupils to make safe and healthy choices. Why Learn Science? Science provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. All pupils are taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of Science. Through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils are encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They develop an understanding of how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. There is a significant overlap with other subjects, such as Design & Technology, Mathematics, Geography, Physical Education and Food, Preparation & Nutrition and so cross-curricular links are regularly explored within lessons. EYFS | KS1 Content KS2 Content Year 7 & 8 Content Year 9 Content Year 10 & 11 Content Science is planned around half-termly topics, the curriculum provides pupils with the opportunity to learn subject-specific knowledge and understanding, explore links across subject areas and practise their writing. As pupils progress through the Lower School they will receive a breadth of subject specialist teaching using specialist facilities in Science - including use of our designated KS2 Science laboratory.

As pupils progress through the Lower School they will receive a breadth of subject specialist teaching using specialist facilities in Science - including use of our designated KS2 Science laboratory. Key Stage 3 Science meets the expectations of the National Curriculum and beyond, both with respect to knowledge and skill development, providing a varied and balanced curriculum. Pupils study aspects of Biology, Chemistry and Physics by rotating through a variety of different topic which support pupils in understanding how Science is integral to all aspects of life and the world around us. Assessment: Pupils will be assessed on the development of their scientific skills and knowledge through in class checks for learning at the end of each topic. In addition to this, pupils will complete larger assessments towards the end of each term, at the end of a rotation of topics. Checks for learning and assessments will be teacher-marked and followed up with a feedback lesson in which pupil misconceptions and misunderstandings are addressed, and every pupil is set individualised targets to support their progress. Pupils will start the GCSE course at the beginning of the year. Throughout the year, classes will rotate through a series of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics topics. Each topic will focus on developing the knowledge and skills required to meet the three assessment objectives mentioned above. The topics are not equal in length, but the rotation of topics has been split into two halves. Year 9 pupils will cover the following topics over the year: Biology Cell structure and transport Cell division Organisation and the digestive system. Organisation in animals and plants Communicable diseases Chemistry Atomic structure The periodic table Structure and bonding Chemical changes Physics Conservation and dissipation of energy Energy transfer by heating Energy resources Year 10 pupils will cover the following topics from the beginning of the year to end of spring term: Biology Communicable diseases Preventing and treating disease Non-communicable diseases Photosynthesis Respiration The human nervous system Organising an ecosystem Chemistry Chemical calculations Electrolysis Energy changes in reactions Crude oil and fuels Physics Electric circuits Electricity in the home Molecules and matter Radioactivity Forces in balance Motion After Easter holidays, Year 10 pupils will either follow the Combined Science course (double ) or the separate Sciences (triple). All pupils will still cover topics in Biology, Chemistry, & Physics on a rotational basis, however separate Science pupils will accelerate through the curriculum to cover the extra content required. Year 10 curriculum will cover the following topics in the summer term: Combined Science (Double) Biology Hormonal coordination Reproduction Variation and evolution Chemistry Chemical analysis Physics Force and motion Separate Science Biology Hormonal coordination Homeostasis in action Chemistry Rates and equilibrium Organic Reactions Physics Force and motion Year 11 curriculum will cover the following topics in the autumn term: Combined Science (Double) Biology Variation, natural selection and evolution Biodiversity and ecosystems Organisms in their environment Competition Pollution Chemistry Rates of reaction The Earth’s atmosphere The Earth’s resources Physics Wave Properties Electromagnetic spectrum Magnetic fields & electromagnetism Separate Science Biology Reproduction Variation, Natural selection and evolution Theories of evolution and speciation Chemistry Titrations Gas laws Chemical analysis The Earth’s atmosphere Physics Forces and motion Pressure Wave properties Electromagnetic spectrum During the Spring and Summer term of Year 11, pupils will either continue studying for the separate Sciences or begin consolidating prior learning in preparation for the Combined Science trilogy course. Separate Science Pupils who continue with the separate Sciences route will study the following topics in the Spring term. Biology Biodiversity and ecosystems Organisms in their environment Competition Pollution Chemistry Properties of materials Physics Properties of light Magnetic fields & electromagnetism Space Home Learning: 1 or 2 pieces per week, lasting between 45 minutes to 1 hour in total. Assessment: Throughout each year pupils will be assessed through a mixture of end of topic tests and in class assessments. In Year 10, pupils will undertake an internal exam in the Spring term in Biology, Chemistry, & Physics. In Year 11, pupils will undertake internal exams in Biology, Chemistry, & Physics, in both the Autumn term and Spring term, before undertaking their final exams in the Summer term.

Latin Opening a dozen different doors to understanding the language of academic and the influence of the Roman Empire on modern European society Go Go At The Westgate School, our Latin Curriculum intends to: Enable pupils to understand the significant influence Roman culture had on European society and languages and especially English. Enable pupils to explore the etymology of the English language and its significant links to Latin. Broaden pupils' use of English academic vocabulary. Enable pupils to gain knowledge and understanding of the Roman world through reading and responding to its literature. Why learn Latin? Latin (within the English curriculum) provides a foundation in linguistic and cultural competence, enabling pupils to gain knowledge and understanding of the Roman world through reading and responding to its language and literature. In studying Latin we discover the roots of culture and language which shape Europe today. We analyse texts and stories in Latin to build knowledge and understanding of Latin vocabulary and grammar and we use sources in order to consider aspects of the fascinating and enthralling civilisation of the Roman world and culture. EYFS | KS1 Content KS2 Content Year 7 & 8 Content Year 9 Content Year 10 & 11 Content Latin is not taught within our school in the Primary phase. It is taught from KS3 onwards. Latin is not taught within our school in the Primary phase. It is taught from KS3 onwards. Latin does not exist as a discrete course in Key Stage 3. However, we are increasingly introducing aspects of Latin into our English structures. What and how will I learn? In Year 9 pupils will be introduced to the Latin language and learn key words and be able to link the etymology of the language to English and also other modern languages. This new vocabulary is taught in a range of engaging and exciting ways and pupils thoroughly enjoy making links between Latin and other languages they are studying. For example, pupils will be challenged through the translation work, while learning the structures of the language. Alongside learning the Latin language, we will also study key facets of the Roman Civilisation. This will include: Roman family life including the Paterfamilias; the role of women and children in ancient Rome; discussing the morality of slavery and arranged marriages. When discussing these aspects of Roman life, we will link the experiences of the past to our modern lives and reflect on their impact. How will this be assessed in GCSE? The GCSE examination in Year 11 will consist of 1 Language paper (50%), 1 Literature paper (30%) and 1 Roman Civilisation paper (20%).

Personal Development Empowering individuals to grow in self-awareness, responsibility and life-long learning. Go Go Our Personal Development Curriculum intends to: Enable pupils to make effective choices. Teach pupils to be mindful of British Values. Develop pupils into positive citizens of modern-day Britain. Our personal development curriculum intends (through our Golden threads) to encourage pupils to: Make thoughtful choices that positively shape the future whilst understanding and accepting that their choices will have consequences. Act responsibly towards others and contribute meaningfully to society through ethical and compassionate behaviour. Encourage character development by recognising strengths, areas for improvement, values, and aspirations for personal growth. Why Learn Personal Development? Personal Development (PD) equips pupils to live healthy, safe, productive, capable, responsible and balanced lives. It encourages them to be enterprising and supports them in making effective transitions, positive learning and career choices and in achieving economic well-being. A critical component of PD education is providing opportunities for children and young people to reflect on and clarify their own values and attitudes and explore the complex, and sometimes conflicting, range of values and attitudes they encounter now and in the future. Personal Development education helps pupils to cope with the changes at puberty, introduces them to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities. The curriculum for personal development is led by DSL (All-Through) and Year Leaders in the secondary phase, and by the designated Subject Lead in the primary phase. Working with leaders across all phases ensures a consistent approach and a spiralling curriculum which builds on prior learning in a manner which is both age and developmentally appropriate for pupils. All teachers are supported to deliver PD lessons in appropriate way through a CPD programme and individual support by Year Leaders / Assistant Year Leaders and Subject Leaders. Specialist teachers are used to deliver some aspects of the curriculum. Working with parents, carers, and the wider community to create a safe, inclusive, and happy environment where pupils develop a strong knowledge of self. We help them understand their strengths, make responsible choices, and recognise the consequences of their actions . By providing opportunities to explore careers, set goals, and build essential skills, we support pupils in planning for their future. We also foster a sense of responsibility to others and society , encouraging empathy, community engagement, and global citizenship. This holistic approach prepares pupils to lead fulfilling, purposeful lives beyond school. Long Term Plan (Year 7-11) EYFS | KS1 Content KS2 Content Year 7 & 8 Content Year 9 Content Year 10 & 11 Content Curriculum overview This aspect of our curriculum is delivered by class teachers with specialist input and assemblies where appropriate. PD offers explicit and implicit learning opportunities that are based on ‘Golden Threads’ that form the backbone of the PD curriculum across all key stages. PD is integral to all we teach and is delivered through a mixture of discrete lessons and within other curriculum areas. We understand that parents are the primary teachers of their children and we work in partnership to ensure our curriculum is complimented by what is taught at home. During Key Stage 1 pupils learn about themselves as developing individuals and as members of their communities, building on their own experiences and on the early learning goals for personal, social and emotional development. In EYFS and KS 1 each class uses a large personal development 'floor book' to evidence our learning. Each half term has a different focus for learning; these can be found on our long-term plans. During EYFS and Key Stage 1, pupils learn increasing independence and physical and social awareness, as they move through the primary phase. Pupils are given opportunities to develop effective relationships, assume greater personal responsibility and manage personal safety, including online. Personal Development helps introduce pupils to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities.

Personal Development helps pupils manage the physical and emotional changes at puberty, introduces them to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities. Different teaching methods are used, such as direct teaching, discussion and debate, research, books, stories, visiting speakers and workshops. The schemes of work and lessons are planned to implement the curriculum intent and are flexible, reflecting pupils’ needs with adaptations to take on board pupils and parental feedback, ideas and topical issues in society. In Key Stage 2, each pupil has a Personal Development journal to record evidence of learning and express ideas. PD long term overview Key Stage 3 Curriculum Content & Overview In the secondary phase the curriculum is delivered through an extended tutor session on a weekly basis and supplemented by external speakers, small group work in afternoon tutor sessions and, through assemblies. Additional follow up conversations take place as part of the half termly 1:1 mentoring sessions that pupils have with their tutor.
