Science

Welcome to Science!

You have the option of taking Separate Science which is equivalent to three GCSE'S or Double Award Science which covers all three Sciences but is equivalent to two GCSES. Further information can be found under Both options below. There are also videos available on this page to give you further details.

Separate Science

Double Award Science

Please Note:

  • It is not possible to study GCSE Chemistry, Physics or Biology on its own.

  • For all courses the work is divided into different units. External examinations will occur in June of Years 10 and 11.

  • For some courses e.g. medicine, many universities will require students to have studied physics to the end of Key Stage 4. This can be studied as part of GCSE Science (Double Award) OR as separate GCSE physics.

  • Students who wish to study A Level Biology, must have studied chemistry at GCSE whether as a separate GCSE or as part of the GCSE Science Double Award.
