GCSE combined Science: Trilogy

This double award is equivalent to 2 GCSE’S and covers much of the CORE and ADDITIONAL content most teachers and 

parents are familiar with.

GCSE Separates ‐Biology, Chemistry, Physics

Studying the separate Sciences means more content will be studied than Combined Science, but the course has been designed to allow flexibility 

throughout the year. Students will be awarded with 3 GCSE’S
