Subject Overview:
In Year 7 students begin the KS3 Exploring Science course. This is a modular curriculum, covering all 3 sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics).
Students have 5 science lessons a week and will receive one piece of homework to complete per week.
Assessments:
At the start of the year, students complete a KS3 transition test, testing KS2 knowledge and skills, which will be used to set students. All students cover the same content, regardless of what set they are put in, with higher sets simply covering the content in more depth and complexity. Setting is frequently reviewed throughout the year to continue to support students.
Students sit an assessment at the end of each module.
