The above scheme of work represents where we should be at during each week of the above term. It is flexible and may be moved around to suit the needs of the delivery or assessments required. It should be read in conjunction with the student specification for AVCE Information and Communication Technology. It represents JMD’s interpretation of what needs to be taught and understood so that the assessment case study can be completed.

Assessment – the assessment grid asks for the production of 2a case study (report) analysing a suitable organisation. The assessment materials for this unit will be provided by AQA. Pre-release materials should be available from AQA in November for January session.
