Year 9 Science Examinations

20 April 2026

Dear Parent/Carer,

Year 9 Science Examinations

I am writing to inform you that your son/ward will be taking science examinations during the week of 11 May. The examinations will cover all topics in biology, chemistry and physics that have been taught in Year 7, 8 and 9. A detailed revision list can be downloaded here and will also be put on INSIGHT for your son/ward along with some additional revision resources. 

The examinations will take place during their science lesson, in their teaching room, so students are to head to class immediately, fully prepared with pen, pencil, ruler and calculator. This is to ensure that the examinations start on time.

The results of this examination will be used to determine any Year 10 GCSE sets, so it is essential that your son/ward spends time at home revising in preparation.

Your son/ward will require their full pencil case; no equipment will be handed out.

A few revision tools that your son/ward can use to study are:

• CGP KS3 revision guide
• KayScience (individual logins)
• SAM Learning
• BBC Bitesize

Thank you for supporting your son/ward through this important period of time.

Yours faithfully,

Miss N Stead
Curriculum Leader - Science
