We deliver the Keystage 3 (KS3) programme of study to students in form groups. Our schemes of work are written in house but based on the Activate resources from Oxford University Press.
All students have access to digital texts and other resources via their Kerboodle logins. These are issued during the first weeks of the autumn term.
Students are assessed through frequent exit passes which are completed as homework. These act as a diagnostic task and lead to DIRT tasks, completed in class, which are used to address any problems. Termly tests using exam style questions are carried out in class to formally assess understanding.
Support with homework is available Monday to Thursday lunchtimes in Science Student Support (S10).

The majority of students will follow the AQA Combined Science Trilogy GCSE which leads to 2 GCSEs in Science. The course covers the key stage 4 programme of study and enables students to access courses in all Sciences at A level.
Our schemes of work are written in house and we have taken time to make sure that the learning in each year builds on previously taught work. We believe this spiraled curriculum ensures students are best prepared for the terminal exams.
Students are assessed through regular exit passes which are used to highlight any misconceptions and difficulties which are then addressed in class DIRT tasks. Termly tests using exam style questions are also carried out in class.
As part of the course students carry out stipulated practical experiments for which a record is kept and these will form a component of each examination.
