Science GCSE Examination Entries - Year 11
We thought it would be a good idea to share our plans for the Year 11 Science exams this year so you are fully aware of the route your son/daughter is taking.
Students studying Double Science
Students in the following sets are following the double science courses (Science and Additional Science):
11Hab, 11Jou, 11Med, 11Lem and 11Tes (please see student timetable for set information)
Students in these sets will complete their GCSE Science in January 2013 by sitting their Biology exam on Wednesday 9th January 2013 (9am start). These students have already completed their chemistry and physics modules in June 2012.
If your son/daughter wishes to retake their Chemistry or Physics modules from last Summer they will need to collect a form from their teacher and submit it with the £8 fee (Cheques payable to Hinchingbrooke School) to Student Reception by 11th October 2012.
For the remainder of the year your son/daughter will complete a second GCSE – Additional Science. This will be examined in the Summer 2013. The provisional dates for the exams are:
- Biology – Tuesday 14th May 2013 (9am start)
- Chemistry – Monday 20th May 2013 (1pm start)
- Physics – Thursday 23rd May 2013 (9am start)
Students studying Triple Science
Students in the following sets are following the triple science courses (biology, chemistry and physics):
11Amp, 11Boh, 11Cur, 11Fey, 11Weg, 11Tau, 11Roe and 11Nig. (Please see student timetable for set information)
Students in these sets will complete all three of their GCSEs in Science in May 2013.
In June 2012 these students completed module 1 papers in physics, chemistry and biology. If your son/daughter wishes to retake one of these modules they will need to collect a form from their teacher and submit it with the £8 fee (per exam) to the Student Reception by 11th October 2012. (Cheques payable to Hinchingbrooke School)
All triple students will be sitting two 1 hour modules per subject in May 2013. The provisional dates for the exams are:
- Biology Modules 2 & 3 – Tuesday 14th May 2013 (9am start) with module 3 immediately after module 2
- Chemistry Modules 2 & 3 – Monday 20th May 2013 (1pm start) with module 3 immediately after module 2
- Physics Modules 2 & 3 – Thursday 23rd May 2013 (9am start) with module 3 immediately after module 2
