At EBS, careers education is a central part of school life. We provide independent, impartial guidance to help students of all ages explore their strengths and passions, and to plan for their future.
From Years 7 – 9 the focus is on career exploration, and students do this through our online platform Unifrog, which helps to identify skills and career interests. We also work with employers, training providers and local colleges to offer real-world experiences. All students complete work experience from Year 10 and meet with our independent Careers Advisor.
Our Key Stage 3 Science curriculum follows a bespoke programme aligned with the National Curriculum, designed to foster curiosity and develop students’ understanding of the world around them. Through engaging and practical lessons, students are encouraged to think scientifically and cultivate a genuine thirst for knowledge.
Across Key Stage 3, students study a broad range of topics drawn from Biology, Chemistry and Physics, building the core knowledge required for strong progress at Key Stage 4. Lessons develop key scientific skill sets identified within our Science Learning Ladder, including knowledge recall, experimental technique, analytical thinking, mathematical application and scientific literacy.
Students are taught to plan investigations, interpret data, apply mathematical reasoning and communicate their ideas clearly using appropriate scientific terminology. This carefully sequenced curriculum ensures a secure foundation for GCSE study and supports students in becoming confident, capable and inquisitive scientists.
