Double Science GCSE

We believe that science has something to offer every student, and that everyone needs some level of relevant scientific understanding. Our course provides a science qualification for Level 2 students, enabling those of all abilities and aspirations to realise their potential.

The course covers all three sciences and has divided the content into two main sections, Biological Science and Physical Science, which make connections between the areas of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

There’s no better way to learn about science than through purposeful practical activities as part of day- to-day teaching and learning. Our practicals are clearly laid out in the specification, so you know exactly what’s required, and deliberately open, so they can be covered in a way that best suits students.

This one-year qualification enables you to extend your range of GCSE qualifications to progress to Level 3 courses, gaining the equivalent of two GCSEs. Working as part of a cohesive group, and receiving tutorial support and study skills assistance from our specialist staff, you will build the foundations and skills which will enable you to be successful on a Level 3 study programme.

Most of the GCSE Level 2 students successfully achieve the grades needed for them to continue into the Level 3 studies of their choice at Long Road.

They are very often some of our best students in Level 3 classes due to their much improved study skills and their clear vision of their progression through and after Long Road.
