Separate Science

3 GCSEs will be awarded, 1 of each in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The year groups referred to below give details of the courses that the current years are following.

Year 9 and 10

Year 11

Year 9 start the year with a bridging unit between KS3 and 4. We then concentrate on experimental and analysis skills and this leads into the start of the IGCSE course. At the end of Year 9 a decision will is made about the best course of study for a given group. The options are to continue with the IGCSE courses or swap to the AQA Separate Science courses. These are then followed in Years 10 and 11. Both routes require terminal examination so no examined modules are taken until the end of Year 11.

 

Year 11 are following the AQA Separate Science courses.

 

The exam board that we are following is AQA and each GCSE requires
