The year 9 curriculum is designed similarly to years 7 and 8. During the first term pupils cover the topics of Human Biology, Chemical Reactions and Magnetism. Each topic aims to deepen understanding of the world around us, further develop scientific skills and prepare pupils for GCSE teaching.

The practical skills required for GCSE Science are assessed, providing pupils with valuable feedback for improvement. The teaching of GCSE subject content begins after the Easter holidays. 

Additionally, the application of numeracy plays an important role in Science. Find out how by clicking here Maths skills for Science.
