You will also need lined paper and an A4 binder in which to keep organised lesson notes and worksheets. Highlighter pens, file dividers, post-it notes and plastic wallets are also very useful. Use of a digital device such as an iPad would be very useful in lessons, as all lessons are stored digitally.

For safety reasons all students studying a science A level will need a lab coat and goggles. Lab coats with studs (not buttons) can be purchased from Amazon.

Students will be required to attend a field trip in the summer term of 2027. Essential practical work will be undertaken to complete the Practical Endorsement component of the course. We will endeavour to keep the cost of this trip down as much as possible. It will cost in the region of £30 only.
