About Science
​

The Kings curriculum for Science aims to ensure that all students:
  • Develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics
  • Develop an inquisitive and questioning mind to enable them to answer scientific questions about the world around them
  • Are equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.
 
KS3
During Year 7 and 8 students are taught in mixed ability groups.
We use Kerboodle Activate to deliver lessons that will engage and stretch students; the content allows students to bridge studies at Key Stage 2 and secondary school with a focus on development of practical techniques in a scientific laboratory. All three disciplines of Science are covered over a range of topics and where possible each discipline is taught by a Science teacher with a specialism in that area.
Summative assessments take place at the end of each topic to monitor progress and at the end of Year 8 an ‘End of Key Stage’ test is given to set the classes in preparation for Year 9.
 
GCSE
 
Examination Board: AQA
 
Course Outline: 
​

Students doing Combined Science will complete two GCSE Science qualifications. Students doing Triple Science will complete three GCSE Science qualifications: GCSE Chemistry, Biology and Physics.
All courses will enable all students to progress to A-level and Level 3 BTEC courses in Science should they so wish.
 
The main ideas behind the Science curriculum are as follows:
• To encourage students to engage with and challenge the science they meet in everyday life.
• Allow students to understand and evaluate the workings of Science and how it impacts on society and their lives.
• Plan practical ways to answer scientific questions and test hypotheses; exploring ‘How Science Works’ in the context of the material covered.
 
Assessment:
 
In each of the Science qualifications students will study aspects of the three traditional Sciences (Biology, Chemistry & Physics). There will be no practical coursework component.100% of the course will be assessed by external examination. All examinations will be written at the end of Year 11.
