Summary of Programme for Year 9:
In Year 9, students all start the GCSE Combined Science course. Year 9 is split into sections of Biology, Chemistry and Physics with a focus on some of the fundamentals required throughout Years 10 and 11. This will lead to students either studying the Combined Science or the Triple Science route. Academic decisions such as this are made further into the course. The course comprises a mixture of theoretical, practical and analytical work.
Does the Year 9 course include any elements of the GCSE?
We will be starting on the full GCSE course in order to cover key concepts.
