What is my child studying this year?
Additional Science (Studied in Y10 and Y11)
Further Additional Science (Studied in Y11)
Why two qualifications?
In GCSE Science students will generally do 2
qualifications (Core and Additional Science).
This counts towards the EBacc qualification (a
government measure of students attainment).
Your child has been identified as talented in
Science and thus been given the opportunity to
obtain a third GCSE (Further Additional
Science). They have already got their Core
Science (Y10).
As a result, your child will sit Additional and
Further Additional Science Examinations in
Y11.

What can I do to help my child?
• Ask them what they learnt that day
in Science.
• Ensure homework and green pen
responses are being done.
• Make sure they get an opportunity
to have a quiet place/environment
to revise.
• Ask them to explain certain key
ideas from Science to you.
What can my child do to help
themselves?
• Set aside study time during the week. Keep to it!
• Organise! (Make a revision timetable, revision
aids, respond to challenges in your book.)
• Buy a Revision Guide (£5.50 from parent pay).
• Find/Learn revision strategies that work for you.
Evolve the way you learn by trying new ways to
revise.
• MONITOR – EVALUATE - PLAN
• Homework once per cycle per subject
• Talk to your peers if you get stuck.
• If you are still not sure come and find us.
