Science
There are three Science areas:-
- The three separate Science Course
- The Core and Additional Group
- The BTEC Groups
The first of these is designed to provide pupils with qualifications in the three separate sciences and the latter two with two separate Sciences, albeit in a small number of cases this was largely affected by college timetables.
Three Separate Sciences
There was a 100% pass rate in this area but more importantly there were significant numbers of pupils who gained A and A* in each. 27 pupils took three separate Sciences. All gained an A* to C (ie. 100%).
Subject | National Average % A* – C | Philips High School % A* – C |
Biology | 90.3 | 100 |
Chemistry | 90.7 | 100 |
Physics | 91.3 | 100 |
Core & Additional Science
In the Core and Additional the figures were as follows:-
Subject | National Average % A* – C | Philips High School % A* – C |
Core | 59.1 | 94.87 |
Additional | 65.2 | 93.3 |
Subject | National Average % A* – C | Philips High School % A* – C |
Science BTEC Applied | No figures supplied | 86 |
Science BTEC Principles | No figures supplied | 100 |
All these statistics given are well above the national average. It means that 95% of our students gained at least two A* to C Grades in Science.
