Hear from our Science specialists...
"As a teacher with over 16 years' experience, we've ensured that the curriculum and the materials have been developed from the perspective of a classroom practitioner, and with the varied needs of the student at the forefront. We have carefully designed an engaging KS3 and KS4 Science curriculum that develops students’ skills, knowledge and understanding from KS2, and effectively prepares them for the challenges of KS5 science.
Pupils have the opportunity to consolidate their understanding of the key fundamental concepts of science, whilst building their working scientifically skills and developing a broader knowledge of science and its application in real-life.
The curriculum not only meets the content and requirements of the national curriculum, but closely follows the AQA separate sciences specifications, providing the depth and rigour, which will enable students to apply their skills and understanding to different contexts in examinations but also in their day-to-day lives."
