GCSE Options During the course, students are encouraged to develop problem solving skills and worded problems are focussed on during Year 11 in addition to the scheme of work. We encourage students to attend Maths Clinic which is supported by our Sixth Form students and regularly result in one-to-one tuition for students. Practice papers are delivered throughout the course, with a large bulk being worked on in lessons and at home from February of Year 11. 10
GCSE Options Science The AQA Science GCSEs, which students have already begun to study in Year 9, are built around rigorous and engaging science. They offer a rewarding experience that is fair and accessible to all students whilst challenging the most able. An authentic insight – It provides a traditional grounding in science, and a level of understanding that will help students progress into future scientific thinking. We aim to inspire all students whilst building solid foundations to enable a successful transition to higher level studies that support a range of future careers and learning directions. Keeps the subject real – There are practical activities throughout each teaching topic that underpin and enhance theory. This reinforcement of abstract ideas through their concrete application ensures deep understanding of the subject matter and also develops skills which are vital for life in the 21st century, such as critical thinking, planning and evaluation. Some of our students will study separate sciences to GCSE level. Each science has two equally weighted examination papers, taken at the end of the course. A variety of question styles are used including multiple choice, structured, closed short answer and open response. Some students will study for the AQA Combined Science (known as Trilogy). This course still contains Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The students will still be taught in these areas by subject specialists. They will sit six shorter papers, two Biology, two Chemistry and two Physics. Biology 1. Cell biology 2. Organisation 3. Infection and response 4. Bioenergetics 5. Homeostasis and response 6. Inheritance, variation and evolution 7. Ecology 8. Key ideas Chemistry 1. Atomic structure and the periodic table 2. Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter 3. Quantitative chemistry 4.

Electricity 3. Particle model of matter 4. Atomic structure 5. Forces 6. Waves 7. Magnetism and electromagnetism 8. Space physics (physics only) 11
