Homework & Home Learning

For KS3 Science homework our aim is to develop students' language within science and therefore each week students will receive 3 keywords and their definitions to learn.   Students will be taught strategies on how to make this learning the most effective.  These will be posted to Google Classroom each week.

In KS4, students start using the online learning tool SENECA.  The main focus of this homework is for students to go over previous knowledge, as research has proven the act of retrieving this information builds memory.

Each student creates an account using their Google email and joins the class. Assignments each week will be posted on Google Classroom.

Progression to further study and work

The Combined science course is a possible pathway to taking science A levels (grade 6-6 or above), such as biology, human biology, PE, chemistry, environmental science, geology, physics and astronomy.  The course counts for two GCSEs, helping students getting to the five required for most college courses.
