2.0 Specification at a glance

Our KS3 Science Syllabus organises the big ideas and topics of the programme of study into clear objectives. It outlines what your students need to know, what they must be able to apply and how to extend that knowledge where appropriate.

The syllabus is easy to use. Just like a specification, it lays out clearly the key requirements. It also covers all of the working scientifically objectives with teaching ideas that you can weave into your lessons.

Whether you teach KS3 over two years (year 7 and year 8) or three years (year 7 to year 9), this syllabus will give you the direction and framework that will help you make the most of KS3 and prepare students for the step up to KS4 and GCSE.
