Welcome to the Science Extranet page. This page has been designed to guide parents, carers and students through the science programme of study at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. This includes the key assessment points (GCSE, AS/A Level) and extension material for keen young scientists!
It is our intention always to engage, challenge, and support.
Below you will find links to Frequently Asked Questions documents covering each of the Key Stages. We hope that you find these useful as a first port of call for information relating to the science courses studied at St Ivo.
We believe strongly in the value of an effective school/home partnership in creating the opportunity for all students to achieve their potential in science. If this page raises further queries, or if you'd like to provide feedback, please get in touch. We value your support and look forward to working in partnership with you in the future.
Best wishes,
D Fullman,
Head of Science

C1a for Year 9 (Triple Science) | B1a & B1b for Year 10 | B2 for Year 11
This is the minimum content that needs to be covered in Y10 and Y11 BTEC for students that started in September 2009.
Standard GCSE revision guides will cover most of this content. Students should research their current area of study for homework, and bring their research in to add to their coursework. Work may be typed or handwritten. Students may use websites to help provided they quote their sources and present their work appropriately. We recommend turning the information into a poster, mind map or leaflet (students must not simply copy and paste)A general search for terms at http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/ is recommended.
Completion of this list does not guarantee a pass, as there are also experiments that students must complete. However this does make up the bulk of the course.Please email the BTEC co-ordinator at cmarshall@stivoschool.org should you have any questions.
