Curriculum Models for Triple Science
From the Triple Science Support Programme, the resources in this collection look at how schools adapt their curriculum to teach triple science GCSEs, and case studies are provided that include guidance for teachers and managers on curriculum planning, student selection, staffing and timetabling.
Note
These resources have been included in this collection for teachers’ use, however they may contain some information, particularly relating to Government policy, which is now out of date.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
Triple Science Case Study: Balshaw’s School, Leyland
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how giving science a high profile to create enthusiasm for the subject in a large number of students, together with a whole school strategy of vigorously enhancing and enriching the curriculum, can lead to success in delivering triple science. The case study…
Triple Science Case Study: Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College, Bradford
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how capitalising on the enthusiasm of the science staff to increase uptake and including science in the options rather than as an ‘extra’ after school can lead to success in delivering triple science. The case study provides some background information…
Triple Science Case Study: Stocksbridge High School
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how using feedback from the students (and staff) to change the curriculum model and providing more detailed advice during the Year Nine options process with regards the nature of the course can lead to success in delivering triple science. The case study…
Triple Science Case Study: Woodrush High School, Worcestershire
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how a focus on providing adequate curriculum time for triple science, moving towards a three year Key Stage Four, together with developing students’ science enquiry skills from Year Seven can lead to success in delivering triple science. The case study…
Triple Science Case Study: Curriculum Model and Timetabling
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how remodelling the timetable and changing the structure of Key Stage Three and Key Stage Four can mean students are given the time and the opportunity to build their confidence in triple science and develop the skills required to be successful. The case study…
Triple Science Case Study: CPD and Effective Guidance
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how providing specialist teachers with the confidence to deliver the additional triple science units through professional development can develop all teachers in their capacity to deliver triple science effectively. Careful and tailored student guidance can also…
Triple Science Case Study: Leadership and Review

Triple Science Case Study: Curriculum Models
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how trialling different curriculum models and providing additional time in Year Ten for students to grow and develop confidence with science, as well as deploying teaching staff effectively can lead to success in delivering triple science. The case study provides…
Triple Science Case Study: Summary of Key Findings From a Range of Schools
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this 2007 report summarises the main findings from a number of case studies of how schools tackled the introduction of triple science and is intended to help other schools with their triple science GCSE provision. It discusses the overall issues that schools report (such as finding the time…
Triple Science Case Study: Providing Lessons Outside the School Day
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how a school provided extra lessons before school to dramatically increase the triple science take up, leading to greater progression to sciences post-16. The case study includes some background information about St Gregory’s Catholic High School (Warrington)…
Triple Science Case Study: Collaboration with the Maths Department
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how a school's science and mathematics departments collaborated to increase the time available for students taking triple science and so increased the level of attainment for students. The case study includes some background information about Littleover…
Triple Science Case Study: Steering Students Towards Triple Science
From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how a school changed the options system to make triple science a more desirable choice, offered guidance to learners to encourage them to choose triple science, and improved the quality of teaching so students would want to study more science at Key Stage Four. The…
