Science

Curriculum Overview:

Our intent is a Science curriculum that engages and challenges all students. They build on knowledge and skills acquired at KS2 and prepare students to take a GCSE in Biology. 

KS3 

Through Key Stage 3 our students will:  

• develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the science curriculum. 
• develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them. 
• develop the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future. 
• develop the practical knowledge and skills required to carry out scientific enquiries. 
• become confident communicators, both in writing and speaking. 

KS4 

Provides the platform for further studies, establishing the basis for a wide range of careers. For others, it will be a formal qualification, that provide the foundations for understanding the natural world and will enhance their lives in an increasingly technological society.
