AQA - Trilogy Combined Science
Science...where anything is possible!
At KES we are passionate about science and the endless possibilities it presents to our students! They will have the opportunity to develop mathematical skills, problem solving, independence and will become inquisitive to the world around us. We prepare students well for their next steps and hope that they leave with a love of our wonderful subject!
Course Overview
The AQA Trilogy Combined Science course is worth 2 GCSEs, both graded up to a 9. Students will either sit the foundation paper and achieve up to a grade 5, or if possible, they will sit the higher paper and achieve a grade between a 4 and a 9. Students will study all 3 scientific components and will work through a range of working styles. Students will take part in regular practical investigations to support their theoretical study and will prepare for their next steps in science learning. This course prepares students well for further study into IB, A Level or BTEC science disciplines.
