three sciences?

Post by punkyfish »

Hi There
Would anyone know or know how to find out which schools in Trafford offer three sciences at GCSE, please? Information wanted in anticipation of an appeal being needed.
Many thanks for this forum.

Alty Girls offer both triple and double science. It's a choice - not forced by the school.

I think it should be optional- not compulsory!

According to Loreto's website:

Science (mandatory as part of core subjects taken) - leading to 2 or 3 GCSE awards.

Both loreto and Wellington school offer triple science as an option for able pupils ( When I asked at parents evening at Wellington, they said they would offer option to top 3-4 streamed classes) :)

I know Knutsford academy is not technically a Trafford school but as a large part of its intake come from Trafford I thought it may be still relevent that they
offer both triple science and dual.

3 sciences compulsory at UGS though sometimes some pupils in the bottom set end up taking dual.
