Science

In Malbank’s science department we will develop competent and skilled scientists giving students opportunities to question, test, conclude and evaluate, with accuracy and reliability, so that they can develop enquiring minds and apply knowledge and skills learned to solve real world problems.

The Science Department is striving to offer an excellent science education to all students. Our subject specialist staff aim to provide a knowledge-rich curriculum which generates a curiosity of the world and its place in the universe.

Here at Malbank we offer two possible routes to study science at GCSE:

Route 1:

This is the AQA Trilogy Dual Award course which is a combined science course which results in two GCSE grades at the end of year 11.
