What makes Oxford Smart AQA GCSE Sciences so different?



This refreshed approach ensures students see themselves represented within the specification, as well as an increased focus on relevant real-world issues.

As students progress through the Biology, Chemistry and Physics content, they will see more examples of diverse scientists and science-in-action to help establish lasting connections with the content on the page and lived experiences.


The enhanced digital and teacher support ensure that teacher’s time is spent on planning and delivering a rich GCSE science experience for all students and for themselves professionally.

Opportunities for professional development are available to access as and when needed or fitted in as part of a departmental CPD programme.


Kerboodle Online Learning contains an extensive bank of online questions, with results automatically mapped to the Developing, Secure, Extending assessment framework. Regular opportunities to test understanding and retrieval questions make it easy to check understanding and retention of that knowledge throughout the specification.

Every assessment assigned creates a personalised learning journey for each student – one with embedded opportunities to reflect on their progress.

The powerful combination of assessments, personalised next steps and comprehensive data builds a picture of science understanding across individual students and groups. Teams have access to insights that pinpoint the learning that will have the greatest impact to student success.
