Syllabus Framework

The frameworks for the syllabi have been developed from the UK National Curriculum programmes of study  and with reference to the main exam board syllabi (OCR, AQA, EDEXCEL).

The programme aims to embed subject knowledge across Key Stages 3-5 and beyond to ensure that trainee teachers are fully equipped with the range of knowledge and skills they will need in the classroom. The constructivist approach encourages students to form a deeper understanding of the concepts behind the issues under discussion and to form an appreciation of their wider context.

In the case of science, students study sessions in all of chemistry, physics and biology in order to build subject knowledge across all three scientific disciplines.
