Prior learning required?
To benefit fully from this course, it helps if you have covered the science skills developed in the Oxford Home Schooling Year 7 course and we recommend starting at that level. But there are no specific prior learning requirements and, where necessary, there is a reminder of the basics already covered. Students of all ages are welcome to enrol. There are no final examinations and no formal assessment at KS3 level.
