The department offers GCE Edexcel Biology, Chemistry and Physics A level courses. To achieve the full A-level for each of the sciences all of the content from Years 12 and 13 will be assessed at the end of Year 13. To breakdown the content each subject allows the students to follow the AS programme of study in year 12 which builds towards 2 terminal exam papers before they move into the year 13 programme of study, where students will sit 3 terminal examinations to gain their A-level qualification. In addition to learning the content for each course, students will be required to complete 12 core practicals per Science. The core practicals cover a range of investigative topics and develop the pupil’s laboratory skills as well as their ability to manipulate, analyse and evaluate data.
