Science

At The Yellow House, we offer a comprehensive Science curriculum tailored to meet the needs and abilities of all our students.
Our program includes a range of accredited qualifications:

  • AQA GCSE Single Science:
    We offer GCSE Biology and Physics at the foundation level, with the opportunity to progress to the higher tier for students who demonstrate aptitude and ability.

  • AQA Entry Level Certificate (ELC):
    Designed for students who may find GCSEs challenging, this qualification builds confidence and provides the chance to earn either a Single Award or Double Award in Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. The Single Award covers one unit of each subject, while the Double Award includes two units.
    Students will complete a 45-minute written assessment under supervision, along with a teacher-devised practical assessment. The practical component has no time limit, allowing students to work at their own pace.

  • AQA Unit Award Scheme:  A range of small chunk units are available for study across all the science subjects.  This flexible option allows students to gain recognition for completing specific units of study.

Science experiments are an essential part of our curriculum, helping students engage with real-world applications of scientific concepts. For example, students may have the opportunity to dissect an animal heart or fish, providing hands-on experience that deepens their understanding of anatomy and organ functions within animal bodies.
