Secondary science department handbook — KS3 to A Level
One book for a department that teaches three subjects, runs a laboratory and shares a technician — the head of science who has to hold it together and the teacher setting up period four with a class already at the door.

One purchase covers the school that buys it. Print it, copy it, hand it round your department. Not for passing to other schools or uploading anywhere.
A science department is three subjects, one laboratory, one technician and one timetable to fit them all into. It has more scope for inconsistency than any other department in the school — units required in physics and tolerated in biology, equations written as symbols in one room and words in the next.
This booklet is written for the whole department at once. A head of science can read it as a curriculum and quality-assurance document; a teacher can open it at the page they need while setting up period four. The two GCSE routes are compared from the specifications themselves, including the one almost nobody outside the department understands.
