Changes for 2022 – What you need to know
AQA have reduced the total exam time for GCSE English Literature from 4 hours to 3 hours and 25 minutes.
AQA have offered schools the choice of two units from Poetry anthology, 19th Century novel and Modern
Prose/Drama. At Brinsworth we have chosen to sit the papers on 19th Century novel, A Christmas Carol, and
our Modern Prose/Drama text, An Inspector Calls. These paper 1 units are 50 minutes each and are sat on the
same day.
All students will still sit the Shakespeare and Unseen Poetry Units which are combined on paper 2. The
accuracy marks for sentence structure, punctuation and grammar are awarded on both units on this paper.

Advance information on exams is available
Students can study the required practical activities through demonstrations and simulations if it is not possible to
carry them out in hands on sessions in class. However, we still recommend doing hands on sessions where possible.
It should still enable students to learn about the practical apparatus, techniques and processes in enough depth to

Changes for 2022 – What you need to know
Summary of the Summer 2022 assessment/content arrangements. The qualification has one component.
Component 1: Personal Portfolio (internally marked and externally moderated, the examination board will be
offering centre visits for the purpose of moderation).
Ofqual announced changes to the 2022 Summer examination series. The changes are an interim measure to address
any impact COVID-19 has had on students in 2021 and 2022. The changes announced have had an impact on this
qualification. The statement details what changes have been made to our specification for students being graded in
Summer 2022.
Students will not be asked to sit a formal externally set examination in June 2022. All marks will be awarded from the
assessment of coursework as stated in Department of Education consultation paper; “Students taking GCSE, AS and
A level art and design will be assessed on their portfolio only”.
What our students need to complete:
As component 2 (externally set examination) has been removed, marks will be awarded for the completion of
‘component 1 - coursework’. This means that the normal weighting of component 1 will now be changed from 60%
to 100%.
Students need to ensure that they meet the criteria set out in the grid below. This will be achieved by them meeting
the targets set by their Art teacher and by completing their coursework assignment by the deadline set:
Friday 29th April 2022AO1 Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources AO2 Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes AO3 Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses AO4 Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language How we will help All of our students who have AP results below the expected rate of progress will attend extra-curricular sessions provided by Art staff. These sessions will be held every Friday in G68 from 2:40 until 3:40 and beyond. These sessions are also available to any art student in the cohort who wishes to attend.

relation to the areas being tested in 2022.
• Students will still be expected to apply their knowledge to unfamiliar contexts.
• Students will be expected to draw on knowledge, skills and understanding from across the specification when
responding to synoptic questions.

received and issued to students on 31/03/22.
Students will have an additional re-sit opportunity, should they need it. This may either be to ensure they pass the
examination or to increase a grade if they were unhappy with their original result. Re-sit entries will be
communicated home and will be made on an individual basis and will be linked to engagement in lessons and
attendance at Period 6 sessions. Re-sit examination date: 12/05/22

Business to Consumer (B2C).
• Segmenting the market to identify which
customers its promotions will target through:o demographics: age, race, religion, gender,
family size, ethnicity, income, education level,
socio-economic group
o geographic: location
o psychographic: social class, attitudes, lifestyle
and personality characteristics
o behavioural: spending, consumption, usage,
loyalty status and desired benefits.
A3 Factors influencing the choice of • Size of enterprise.
promotional methods • Budgetary constraints.
• Appropriateness for product/service.
• Target market.
B1 Financial documents • Types: invoices, delivery notes, purchase
orders, credit notes, receipts, statement of
account.
• Importance to a business of accuracy when
these documents are being used.
B2 Payment methods • Payment methods: cash, credit cards, debit
cards, direct debit, payment technologies.
• Impact on customers and enterprises of using
different methods.
B3 Sources of revenue and costs • Income from sales and from assets.
• Start-up costs and running costs.
B4 Terminology in financial statements • Turnover (net sales) and cost of sales (cost of

financial performance of an enterprise at a
point in time.
• Categorise total assets and liabilities using a
statement of financial position.
B7 Profitability and liquidity • The difference between cash and profit.
• The difference between liquidity and
profitability.
• Calculate profitability ratios from given
formulae:
o gross profit margin percentage (GPM): (gross
profit/revenue) × 100o net profit margin percentage (NPM): (net
profit/revenue) × 100.
• Calculate liquidity ratios from given formulae:
o current ratio: current assets/current liabilities
o liquid capital ratio: (current assets –
inventory)/current liabilities.
C1 Using cash flow data • Cash – liquid assets of the business; bank
balance plus cash in the business.
• Cash flow – difference between the cash
flowing into the business (inflows) and the cash
flowing out of the business (outflows), positive
and negative liquidity.
• Difference between sales and purchases.
• Cash flow statement: the cash inflows and the
cash outflows over the past 12 months.
• Cash flow forecast: outlines the forecasted
future cash inflows (from sales) and the
outflows (such as raw materials, wages) per
month over a period of time.
C2 Financial forecasting • Purpose of a cash flow forecast: o to identify
money coming in (inflows) and going out
(outflows) of the enterprise over time o to
determine net current asset requirements and
make business decisions.
• Inflows: sales, capital introduced, loans.
• Outflows: purchases, running costs.
C3 Suggesting improvements to cash flow • Analysis of cash flow information –
problems considering changes in inflows and outflows
over a period and how this affects the
enterprise, considering differences between
predicted and actual cash flow.
• Cash flow problems – not having enough cash
to pay employees and suppliers.
• Impact of timings of inflows and outflows,
and suggested solutions to problems:
o increasing revenue
o selling off unused assets o selling off
inventory
o chasing debtors for monies owed
o cutting costs
o delaying payment to suppliers
o reducing credit period offered to customers
o cutting back or delaying expansion plans.
C4 Break-even analysis and break-even point • Costs: variable costs, fixed costs, total costs. •
Sales: total revenue.
• Margin of safety.
• Break-even = fixed costs/(selling price per
unit – variable cost per unit).You can also read
