New GCSE Sciences

I know I haven't posted on here for a while but I felt that I had to post something after the article in The Times (11/10/06) I would post something.

At NKS we are not going to be stopping after the basic GCSE Science course that is targetted by most of the critisim placed in the newspaper article. All students at NKS will be studying at least GCSE Additional Science, which WILL prepare them to take 'A'-Levels in all three sciences and hence go on to University to study science should they so wish. The top 60 of our students in Year 10 are studying the three separate sciences through the twenty-first century science course. As such they will be even better prepared to study science at 'A'-Level and beyond.

The comments made in the paper and on TV during the day are unfair to a course that has tried to appraoch science from a different angle, but still cover the material that is needed. If you have a son at NKS studying science, please do not panic they will receive the science education they need to continue with their science studies beyond GCSE.

If you still have questions please feel free to contact me at school.
