Pupils are taught Biology, Chemistry and Physics separately by specialist teachers from the beginning of Year 8. All three subjects are compulsory up the end of GCSE. Currently, pupils may opt to take either the Dual Award GCSE (equivalent to two GCSEs but covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics) or take all three subjects as separate GCSEs. Pupils are guided in their choice at the appropriate time.
