Key Stage 3 - Useful Information

At QEHS we have adopted a thematic approach to teaching KS3 covering a wide range of real world scenarios building skills in line with the new curriculum. The aim of the programme of study is to develop inquisitive learners, that utilise skills to become evidence based learners.

Topics covered in KS3 are:

Not all scientists wear white coats
999 Emergency!
Titanic
Shipwrecked!
Earth in Danger
Leaving Earth
Reproduction

In year 9 we aim to develop the application of skills such as data handling, problem solving and scientific investigation, to prepare pupils for successful outcomes at GCSE and A Level.
