Curriculum Overview – Year 11

In Year 11, students continue to study the BTEC Firsts Constructing the Built Environment course provided by Edexcel.

Students will use the skills learnt in previous years to complete the Carpentry assignment and complete Unit 5.

We then move onto Unit 2, ‘Construction and Design’. In this unit, students will understand the work completed across the construction industry, understand a client’s needs to develop a design brief for a low-rise building and then produce a range of initial sketch ideas to meet the requirements of a client brief for a low-rise building.

In the final half term, students will continue to study content for Unit 1 to further embed deeper knowledge and understanding and then decide whether they would like to try and improve their exam grade in the summer series of exams.
