Science• Most students study Combined Science
(Trilogy) worth 2 GCSEs
• Triple Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) is available to our identified ‘most able’ scientists
• This takes up one of the 4 options and so would replace the 4th choice subject
• At least two 6s in Combined or Triple Science enables studying A levels in Science and a degree in a Science discipline
