KS4 Science
Like Maths and English, Science is a compulsory subject during KS4. There are two pathways that students can follow:
-
Combined Science - this equates to two GCSE qualifications
-
Separate Science - all three disciplines, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, are taught separately. Students gain three separate GCSE qualifications.
