Science GCSE Curriculum

Either of
1. Edexcel 360 core in year 10 and additional in year 11
2. BTEC science
3. Edexcel 360 core over years 10 and 11
4. OCR Science Plus certificate Link to ocr website

BTEC - This is an alternative approach to the 360GCSE Science. The course has been developed for students who prefer to undertake written assignments and enjoy a hands-on investigative approach.

Maths GCSE curriculum

Edexcel modular exam courses are followed by most groups, with the lowest double entered at an entry-level qualification and Edexcel linear GCSE.

Many pupils also have the opportunity of sitting an AL&N Maths exam (Adult Literacy and Numeracy), which, when taken with the corresponding AL&N English exam, can result in the equivalent of an extra GCSE.
