Science

At Welling School, our Science curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive and balanced understanding of the core scientific principles that govern the natural world. This integrated science course combines elements of biology, chemistry, and physics, allowing students to develop a strong foundation in all three disciplines. Our curriculum intent is to inspire curiosity, foster critical thinking skills, and promote scientific literacy, equipping students with the knowledge and abilities necessary to succeed academically and engage with scientific concepts in their everyday lives.

The science curriculum is designed to help students progress seamlessly on their educational journey, from KS3 where fundamental knowledge is taught to the pupils through a variety of methods including practicals.  To KS4 where students will have the choice to complete either the AQA combined science trilogy ( 2 GCSE’s) or separate sciences ( 3 GCSE’s).  The curriculum is designed to deepen the students' understanding of scientific concepts and help to develop their critical thinking skills. 

Welling School also has a KS5 offering for science of A-level Biology, A-level Chemistry and Btec Level 3 applied science. In each of the respective subjects the curriculum is designed to challenge, engage and is reflective of the latest scientific advancements.
