Year 11 Science
Curriculum
Your child is completing the OCR GCSE Additional or Further Additional science course this year. Most
pupils have already gained their Core GCSE and been awarded their certificate. Some pupils have this
along with their Additional GCSE and have been awarded two qualifications.
Assessment
Your child completes an extended writing exam question each week that is marked out of 6, with
comments to aid improvement. At the end of each topic they complete a past GCSE paper which is
graded. Pupils will also sit a mock exam before the Christmas and Easter holidays.
Homework
Homework is set on doddle.co.uk and is made up of revision resources and quizzes so teachers/pupils
can monitor weekly progress out of lessons too. It is set every Monday, to be completed by Friday.
Rewards
Pupils have the additional opportunity to be rewarded in science by collecting five badges. A pupil can
gain a badge if on a data collection they beat their targets.
Revision
Pupils have the opportunity to do extra revision after school on Tuesday and at breakfast club, before
school, on a Thursday and Friday (breakfast is included in these sessions).
