GCSE Science is a key subject in the UK secondary school curriculum, studied by students typically aged 14 to 16 as part of their General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE).
It focuses on building a strong foundation in three core scientific disciplines, biology, chemistry and physics.
The Combined Science GCSE, also known as Trilogy, is the most common option for students, integrating Biology, Chemistry, and Physics into a single course.
It provides a balanced introduction to key concepts across all three disciplines, including topics such as cell biology, chemical reactions, and energy transfer.
Students earn two GCSE qualifications by completing six exams—two for each science—with their final grades determined by their overall performance.
The Separate Sciences GCSE, also known as Triple Science, is ideal for students who want to explore each science in greater depth.
This option awards three individual GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, covering more advanced content and additional topics compared to Combined Science.
Students take separate exams for each subject, with each resulting in its own independent grade.
At our Oxford tuition centre, we believe every child has the potential to love learning when supported in the right way.
Science, in particular, is a subject that prepares children for a rapidly changing world by helping them understand how it works.
Our GCSE science tutors are passionate about inspiring students to explore, investigate, and truly engage with the subject, sparking curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the wonders of science.
Secondary school can be a challenging time for many students.
Whether your child is struggling due to gaps in their knowledge, feeling unmotivated, or thriving and ready to be stretched further, our expert tutors can help.
