In Science, students develop a strong understanding of key scientific knowledge, concepts and practical skills through a broad and engaging curriculum. Lessons incorporate a wide range of up-to-date content, alongside carefully designed activities and assessment opportunities that enable students to monitor and reflect on their own progress. Scientific knowledge and practical skills are assessed at the end of each half-term to ensure students are fully supported in their learning journey.
Key Stage 4
At Key Stage 4, students follow the WJEC GCSE The Sciences (Double Award) course. This qualification provides a broad, balanced and rewarding programme of study that develops students' understanding of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The course encourages learners to build confidence in science, develop a positive attitude towards the subject, and recognise the important role science plays in everyday life and wider society.
Studying GCSE Science provides students with the foundations needed to understand the world around them. Scientific discoveries and technological advancements continue to shape our lives and drive future prosperity. Through their studies, students will develop an understanding of key scientific principles, investigative methods and practical applications, while appreciating how many complex natural phenomena can be explained through a small number of interconnected scientific ideas.
