Triple science gsce

It is different in different schools, in my schools like mine it is compulsory. On some, only the lower sets do it.

The lower sets do triple science? I thought it was harder. In my school it definitely isn't compulsory.

It is down to the school. At some everyone does it (generally grammar schools), at others it counts as one of your GCSE options and at others you are offered the opportunity to do it if you're good enough relatively far down the course.

in my school it was compulsory to do all 3 sciences but the lower sets did foundation papers and the higher sets did higher papers. i ended up getting a C in chem a B in physics and an A in bio. i went to a standard goverment funded school for reference. We also all did a core science exam in year 10 and then all did An additional science exam in year 11 along with coursework (which i got A* on). i'd say just ask, if you think you are capable i dont see why they would refuse.

i moved school for sixth form and am in year 13 at an academy now, and from what my friends have said only the 'clever people' got to do triple which was a strange concept to me because everyone at my old school did it. honestly it sounds like the schools holding you back, mine did a simular thing, they were going to put me on the foundation papers where the highest grade you could get on each was a C, so it took my mom to go in and tell them im willing to work and capable of getting decent grades, which i did. i'd say moving schools may be stress that you dont need at an already stressful time so try get your parents to talk to them (some reason they dont seem to listen to kids even if they are sure of themselves). i'm sure they will make arrangements to do triple and im pretty sure all schools do at least have the option to do triple science.

Tysm 👌👌

You don't need triple science to do A-Level science, it's just easier if you have triple

Haha that's why I want it. I feel like I won't get picked because my teacher is a snob who doesn't care about his students.

In my school you choose if you do triple or not

I don't know yet but I hope we can choose and we don't get picked 🤔

In most schools either the top sets do it OR only the top sets can choose it OR anyone can choose it (obviously as long as the teacher thinks you can do it i.e. people in bottom set likely wouldn't be able to pick it)

Hi,
In our school, we picked whether or not we do triple science. But we had pathways, GCSE and Ebacc students got given the choice of triple science but Core and progress students didn't get the option of triple science they had to do double. As for the GCSE and Ebacc students, the teachers made the final decision about whether you get picked to do it or not.

But I'm sure from what you've said, you're more than likely to get picked for it especially if you're grade 4 or above.
