Science GCSE

In teaching real Science to students, we are preparing them for the future. From tackling big scientific issues like clean energy, to everyday problems, like beating a cold, Science holds the answer and the questions! That’s why we have chosen GCSE Sciences specifications that are written to inspire students of all abilities, by showing how theory relates to the real world.

GCSE Combined Science is the equivalent of 2 GCSE qualifications and is the course that the majority of our students study.

The Triple Science course which is 3 GCSE qualifications provides a strong foundation for studying Science at Post 16 and is suitable for students with a significant interest in Science and who are on the Kit Hill pathway. 

Science encourages students to develop skills through investigative work and builds a scientific understanding of the world. Through studying a variety of topics students will discover how Science is used in the workplace; understand the effects of Science on society; develop knowledge of the material, physical and living worlds; how to use hypothesis and evidence to understand Science; develop their observational, enquiry and problemsolving skills and develop their skills in communication, maths and technology.
