Science Resources
Here students can find a range of resources and independent learning materials to support their development in Science.
7-11 Science Curriculum
The table below gives a broad timeline overview of the curriculum that students will experience from year 7 to 11.
Note the science is integrated in year 7 and 8, delivered by ideally one science teacher, who will deliver biology, chemistry and physics modules in the order laid out here.
In year 9, when the students start their 3-year GCSE TRILOGY SCIENCE course (8464), they will be taught biology, chemistry and physics separately but at the same time.

Year 11 Advanced information for AQA Science Exams
The documents below provide guidance from the AQA exam board of the main topics the science exam papers will include and assess. It includes reference to topics and the required practical. NOTE - the exam board has still advised students still leave the entire content they have been taught, as some topics could appear as low tariff questions (ie single mark questions) that are linked to main questions. There is a document for higher tier and one for foundation.
