Quick question re GCSEs if someone could help.

How much time is allocated per week for lessons in each subject assuming taking typical number of 10? Trying to find an average amount of allotted time for Physics and Maths GCSE in particular?

Long story why, but thanks for any help!

titchy Sorry I wasn't clear. Core (single) science was 5. You upgraded it to double using one option (another 5).

English 6, Maths 6, Single Science 5, PE 2, RE 3, ICT 3
Options 5,5,5,5,5

Total 50

English and Maths 6.66 hours per fortnight each
Triple Science 10 hours per fortnight
4 options @ 5 hours per fortnight each
Latin 3.5 hours per fortnight (extra to normal timetable)

About 4 hrs a fortnight for physics dd1 tells me and 7 a fortnight for maths.

titchy · 24/04/2016 22:34

So for your specific subjects, 3 a week for maths and 2 a week physics.

Too many hours there tween! If science gets 10, maths and English 12 and PE the statutory 2, that's only 1 hour left for RE and IT!

Ours get (fortnightly):
6 English, 6 maths, 12 double science (or triple for top set), 2 PE, 3 RE, 1 PSHCE. Then 5 for each option- 4 options in total.

DD's school (good performing 'leafy' comp in all-comp county):

5hrs / fortnight for 'options' subjects, 5 options in all so 25hrs / fortnight

25hrs / fortnight for 'core' subjects: Maths, English, ICT, RE y10 only, PE, Core science.

Core science got I think 5hrs, so double science got 10hrs/fortnight, and slow triple got 15hrs.

Per fortnight PE was 2 hrs, ICT and RE 2 or 3 each I think. Maths & English 6 each per fortnight. Once RE dropped end y10, maths and English gained 1 each.
