Mastery in science
Welcome to Mastery in Science!
We have worked with teachers, examiners and subject experts to put together a comprehensive pathway to help you plan your teaching from Year 7 right up to Year 11 and beyond.
What is Mastery in Science?
Mastery in Science is a way to teach the KS3 and GCSE subject content that uses big ideas to encourage deep understanding of key concepts. It is designed to link content together in a logical and steady way from Year 7 to Year 11. The big ideas are introduced in Year 7 where students secure their knowledge in each key theme.
Our Mastery pathways are structured to:
- Consolidate previous knowledge
- Add an extra layer of deeper understanding each time a big idea is visited
- Include regular formative assessment points to identify areas to support learning
