CURRICULUM AIM

​Science helps to provide our students with the skills, knowledge and understanding they need in order to be inquisitive throughout their time at school and beyond.

The Science curriculum enables students to have a healthy curiosity about our universe, promotes independence and how to manage risks through practical learning. Science allows students to become fluent in terminology, understand key concepts and have positive attitudes towards the uses and implications of Science, today and for the future.

Please note that Southland's current qualification offer includes a pathway towards GCSE qualifications for our current year 10 and 11 students. 

Southland's offers an adapted National Curriculum at KS3 to meet the needs of our students. This means that the full breadth of the National Curriculum is not covered.  Students will be assessed during KS3 to identify their individual needs and determine which qualification pathway is right for them at KS4.  GCSE will not be part of our core offer.
