Science is a core subject.

All Alder Grange pupils follow a GCSE science course in years 10 and 11. The Separate Sciences are available to pupils in set 1. The topics studied for GCSE Combined Science and Separate Sciences are the same except in Physics where Separate Science includes a topic on Space Physics. In addition, the Separate Sciences will go into a little more detail on these topics.

Pupils build on their previous studies, step by step, following a clear path which develops both their scientific substantive learning alongside the necessary disciplinary practical and analytical knowledge needed for GCSE and beyond.
