The Science Curriculum Year 7 and 8: Our students join us in year 7 where we aim to build their knowledge and understanding of practical science and the key concepts that underpin it. This continues through year 8 where we make sure that the students have a good grasp of the basic scientific principles before they start their GCSE years. Students are taught in mixed ability groups throughout years 7 and 8. (tutor groups) Year 9, 10 and 11: Students get an increase in the time they have in science on their timetable from year 9, this enables them all to have the opportunity to follow the GCSE triple science course. As the students’ progress through their GCSE years we do a series of key assessments to see which science pathway is the most suitable for them. We currently have a combination of setted and mixed prior attainment groups in GCSE science and we are actively investigating which style is best for our students.
