From triple science support, this case study illustrates the steps taken by a school in moving away from a stereotypical view of triple science as being academic and theoretical towards more exciting and engaging provision, and so attract more students to take up these GCSEs. It looks at the impact of developing a...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how highlighting the different characteristics of the sciences and developing an enviable programme of enhancement and enrichment activities for students to enable them to make informed choices about progression can lead to success in delivering triple...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how a school provided extra lessons before school to dramatically increase the triple science take up, leading to greater progression to sciences post-16.

The case study includes some background information about St Gregory’s Catholic High School (...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how a school changed the options system to make triple science a more desirable choice, offered guidance to learners to encourage them to choose triple science, and improved the quality of teaching so students would want to study more science at Key Stage...

From triple science support, this 2007 report summarises the main findings from a number of case studies of how schools tackled the introduction of triple science and is intended to help other schools with their triple science GCSE provision. It discusses the overall issues that schools report (such as finding the...

From triple science support, this case study illustrates how a focus on providing adequate curriculum time for triple science, moving towards a three year Key Stage Four, together with developing students’ science enquiry skills from Year Seven can lead to success in delivering triple science. The case study...

OPM conducted an evaluation of the Triple Science Support Programme (TSSP) across the years 2014- 2016 of the programme, to evidence the extent of impacts of the programme on three key groups: teachers, students, science departments, senior leaders, and whole schools. 

Published in August 2014, this is the final report of the three-year evaluation of the Triple Science Support Programme (TSSP) and the two year evaluation of Triple Science Networks (TSN).

The full collection of STEM Learning impact and evaluation research reports can be viewed...

Triple science support helps schools, managers and teachers plan, develop and deliver Triple Science GCSEs. The programme offers schools training, consultancy, networking opportunities, resources and publications. This collection contains some of the materials that are useful in the delivery, development and...

This Catalyst article looks at peatlands which usually conjures up images of bleak, boggy hillsides across Northern Europe, Russia and the USA. But peatlands are also found in the tropics. These currently act as a significant store of carbon, yet these valuable ecosystems are under threat; their disappearance could...

This poster illustrates how expertise from designers, engineers and technologists is used to design and manufacture an innovative snowboard. It helps to illustrate how STEM industries offer many exciting career opportunities.

Scientists at the University of Oxford are investigating how computers could be used to assess online information for trustworthiness. This could be particularly useful to help people interpret information about recent or rapidly changing incidents.
