KS4 Long Term Plan

Pupils studying the following areas during the KS4 program of study which
takes place from January of Year 9 until the GCSE examinations in the summer
of Year 11.

Working Scientifically and Practical skills are integrated as part of the course
and not focussed on independently.

Students follow one of two pathways: AQA Combined Science (Trilogy) or

Separate Sciences. Both are taught to Foundation and Higher tier.

The approximate timetable for KS4 is as follows (NB unless otherwise stated
this is common to both the Combined and the Separate Science courses):

Biology Chemistry Physics
