Science

The TMBS science curriculum aims to equip all students with the scientific knowledge and
understanding to ignite their curiosity and enable them to question and investigate the world around
them. We want students to enjoy their science curriculum and become inspired by passionate and
enthusiastic teachers. Students will be well prepared for science careers, having received outstanding
teaching in core scientific principles, practical scientific work and 21st Century life skills. Our aim is to enable our students to become the scientists of the future and allow them to confidently make
informed choices on matters that affect them and their planet.

Curriculum Provision

All students in KS3 are taught seven lessons of science over a two-week period, which will then increase to ten periods in KS4. Within Year 10 and Year 11 groups are taught by three teachers who will each focus on Chemistry, Physics or Biology.

In KS4 all students will complete the double award qualification but, where appropriate, some students, through discussions with parents, will have the opportunity to complete triple science and achieve a separate grade for Chemistry, Physics and Biology.
