A balanced science program, incorporating most of the features of the National Curriculum, is taught to pupils in Years 7 & 8. Each class has three science teachers covering each of Biology, Chemistry or Physics. In Year 9, pupils are taught by three specialist teachers and start their studies of the GCSE science curriculum. Students can choose to study AQA separate science GCSEs. All other pupils study AQA Trilogy Combined Science. A large number of students go on to study science at A-Level and post-18 the numbers that choose Science courses at university are in stark contrast to national norms.
