Students will learn essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of Science and through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils are encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They are helped to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyses causes. Students will develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics and integrate an understanding of the nature, processes and methods of Science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them. Students are also equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.

Students will learn the value of numbers and number place and will develop competency in methods of computation. They will be taught the properties of shapes and measurements and will learn how to reason, sort, classify, handle data and develop mathematical strategies to solve problems. The mathematics strands in Key Stage 3 (ages 11 to 14) build on the achievements and experience of Key Stage 2 (ages 7-11) as well as improving the transition from Primary to Secondary School. For example, students will solve substantial problems by breaking them into simpler tasks; they will use logical arguments to establish the truth of a statement and examine critically the results of statistical enquiry.
