Triple Science Case Study: Student Selection and Valuing Practical Work

Comments (0)

From the Triple Science Support Programme, this case study illustrates how enabling students to self-select onto the triple science course and providing them with meaningful opportunities for practical work in Key Stage Four, achievement and uptake in sciences at post-16 can increase.

The case study includes some background information about Oakbank School (West Yorkshire); the barriers which prevented the school from introducing triple science and some practical guidance on how to overcome the problems are also provided.
