KS4 HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE

KS4 means the start of BTEC topics for all groups in Year 10. Learners will have five lessons a fortnight and follow the Pearson BTEC Level 1/2 Tech Award (2022) specification.

Unlike GCSE’s, learners will take formal assessments over the two years; PSA1 will happen between Jan and May of Year 10, with PSA2 between Sept and Dec of Year 11 and a written exam in early May of Year 11.  

  • Comp 1 – PSA1 assessment = 30% final grade 
  • Comp 2 – PSA2 assessment = 30% final grade 
  • Comp 3 – written assessment = 40% final grade
