The CCEA GCSE Contemporary Crafts specification is about making things. Students explore the properties and characteristics of materials, techniques and processes, combining creative ideas and manual dexterity to create unique objects.

Students can explore and create from a wide range of materials, including ceramics, glass, metal, found and recycled materials, resins, textiles, and wood.

This qualification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills developed through the Area of Learning The Arts.

The CCEA GCSE Gaeilge specification enhances students’ positive attitude towards the Irish language, culture and literature and helps them become effective and accurate users of Irish.

It builds on the range of Irish language skills that students acquire in Irish-medium education. It also helps students prepare for AS level Irish, as it has more literature content than the other GCSE languages specifications. This gives students opportunities to improve their skills in analysis, collating, comparison and cross-referencing.

The CCEA GCSE Statistics specification encourages students to develop understanding of the basic concepts of statistical problem-solving. They also develop skills in planning, collecting, processing, analysing and representing data.

Students reason, interpret and discuss results and use data to calculate estimates of probability. They develop understanding of how technology enables us to collect, visualise and analyse large quantities of data to inform decision-making in public, commercial, charitable and academic sectors.
