Triple Science including Chemistry have proved to be very successful in achieving excellent progress for students of both high and middle ability choosing that pathway. The department provides support from staff during the course both during lunch breaks and after school; we value the hard work from our students and always want to be on hand to assist where needed. We also run revision sessions for internal tests, mock examinations and external examinations. These include Easter revision for GCSE. Students studying triple science often wish to embark on science based careers and the staff advise on university pathways and possible routes to achieve these aims. |
