Welcome to the Key Stage 4, where we continue to build on the solid foundation of Years 7 and 8, looking into the more complex and difficult ideas about how the world works and is deeply interwoven. We aim not just to look at the theory of science, but connections to current events and news, other subjects within the school, and links to the working world.Ā

Curriculum
Students at John Colet School get the opportunity to explore the three sciences in a spiral, building on the enthusiasm and curiosity that discovering the world of Science brings.
Once students are in KS4, they are taught in the three separate science as they prepare themselves for their futures, post-16, and after education.
The curriculum overviews summarise the journey students take through Science. They are a great opportunity for students and their parentsĀ to understand what, why, and how they are going to be taught through their time in Science.
