Year 9 Triple Science Entrance Test – Important Information (Selected Y9 Students Only)
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Year 9 Triple Science Entrance Test – Important Information
I hope this letter finds you well.
Due to the high number of applications for the Year 9 Triple Science option, we have decided to conduct an entrance test in Term 5. We are aiming to keep the maximum capacity of triple class group to 34 students. Below, I have provided key details regarding the exam that your child will be sitting.
Entrance Test Details
- Date: Friday, 25th April 2025
- Time: Period 3
- Duration: 45 minutes
- Content: A mix of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics questions
Students will follow their regular timetable as usual, except for Period 3 when they will sit the test. It is important that all students attend school as normal. The exam venue will be confirmed closer to the date.
As the exam approaches, we encourage students to revise thoroughly and make use of all available resources, including textbooks, revision guides, past papers, BBC bitesize etc. We understand that exams can be stressful, so we encourage students to manage their time effectively.
If your child requires any additional support during the exam period, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or [email protected].
A revision list is attached below to help students begin their preparation.
| Biology Topics | Chemistry Topics | Physics Topics |
| Food Groups and Food Tests | Periodic Table and History of periodic table | Energy stores and transfer
|
| Investigation Scientific skills | Law of conservation of mass | Efficiency |
| Microscopes and calculations | Word Equation | Sankey diagram |
| Selective Breeding | States of matter | Particle model |
| Natural Selection | Separating Technique | Electricity |
| Respiration | Reactivity Series | Waves |
To ensure a smooth exam process, please note the following regulations:
- All students must bring the required equipment (pens, scientific calculator pencils, erasers, etc.).
- Mobile phones and electronic devices are not permitted in the exam hall.
- Students must remain in the exam room for the full duration of the exam unless instructed otherwise.
Exam results will be issued by the middle of Term 5, and parents will be informed via email.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish your child the very best of luck in their exams. With careful preparation and focus, we are confident they will perform to the best of their abilities.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Thomas
