All students will study GCSE Science. There are two different routes through the science curriculum: Triple Science awards students with a GCSE in each of the three separate sciences; Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Each science being studied throughout year 10 and year 11. Double Science results in a GCSE in Core Science at the end of year 10 and a GCSE in Additional Science at the end of year 11. Both the above routes are assessed by 75% examination and 25% controlled practical assessment. After following either GCSE course many students choose to study the popular science A levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology here at Prince Henry’s. Applied A-Levels in Health & Social Care and Science are also popular options and follow on naturally from GCSE Science.
