Summer - Science Advanced Information Year 10/11 2023-24

The following curriculum information should support students in using the Summer break as an opportunity to
review and prepare for the next academic year.

Year 10 - 2023/24
All students study GCSE AQA Science - Either Combined Trilogy or Separate Biology, Chemistry + Physics.
All subject specifications can be found here - https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science

Students moving into year 10 will have covered the following content in year 9. We will review some of this
content but would suggest students revise some of this before moving into year 10.
