Science GCSE
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what proportion of the timetable (a) the double award science GCSE and (b) the new science GCSE and additional science GCSE are expected to take up.
- Answer
-
There is no statutory amount of curriculum time that a school should dedicate to teaching any particular GCSE. However, guidance from examining boards suggests around 20 per cent. of the timetable should be spent on studies leading to two science GCSEs. The new science GCSE and the additional science GCSE are expected to take up the same proportion of the timetable as the double award.
