Get organised for September early with the tracker for the NEW AAQ Applied Science Extended Certificate. It is a comprehensive tracker that not only totals each unit and provides and overall grade with a grade predictor but it also has a ‘live’ tracking sheet that can be printed out for each student that autofill’s.
This resource is specifically for the NEW AAQ Applied Science Extended Certificate but can be adapted for any subject at an level of BTEC.
The spreadsheet works by tracking each individual criteria in each unit and gives a grade and points score on completion of each criteria. This then tracks to an overall grade and gives a prediction of a final course grade.

This is the 5th Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on.
As part of an interesting and robust music curriculum, children need to hear and experience music and musical styles and artists that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear.
The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day.
195 school days… 195 songs.
These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson.
Each week includes a Key Vocabulary list and musical features to identify, note and discuss.
This resource includes this year’s calendar (2026-27) ONLY.
Full week-to-View Calendar
YouTube Search Links for all songs
