Who we are
Mrs S. Russell Mrs G. Gleeson Mrs M Choudhery Dr A Behjousiar Mr B. Lock Mrs E. Baines Mrs A. Ruck About Science The Science curriculum at Kings aims to ensure that all students:
KS3 In Year 7 and 8 students are taught in mixed ability groups and are then set in year 9. We use Kerboodle Activate to deliver lessons that engage and challenge our students. The course content allows students to develop their scientific knowledge and their practical skills by studying topics from the three scientific disciplines; biology, chemistry and physics. Summative assessments take place throughout the year. KS4 - GCSE At Key Stage 4 students follow the AQA suite of qualifications. These courses are designed to inspire and challenge students of all abilities and aspirations by: • Encouraging students to engage with and challenge the science they meet in everyday life. • Allowing students to understand and evaluate the workings of science and how it impacts on society and their lives. • Planning practical ways to answer scientific questions and test hypotheses; exploring ‘How Science Works’ in the context of the material covered Most students will follow the Combined Science Trilogy specification. In this course students will study Biology, Chemistry and Physics and will achieve a qualification that equates to two GCSEs. Those students who have a special interest in science may choose to complete the triple award in science. Students who take this route will achieve three separate GCSEs in Biology Chemistry and Physics. All courses will enable students to progress to A-level and Level 3 BTEC courses in science should they so wish. Assessment: In each of the Science qualifications students will study aspects of Biology, Chemistry & Physics, there is no coursework and students are assessed through external examinations which are taken at the end of year 11.
