Report from Maplesden Noakes School, Kent

This year we've been running GCSE Science and Applied Science in parallel, with some students doing Entry Level.

Next year we'll do Additional Science and GCSE Biology as well.

Students find the GCSE Science and Applied Science courses very accessible, and the ICT materials are good. The courses are relevant to students' everyday lives, and GCSE Science helps them understand what they hear about science in the media. However I've been finding that some lessons have too much content, and I need to pay more attention to Ideas about Science next year.

Some students will be going on to AS Biology and AS Applied Science.
