* Student numbers were not viable to run the course.

**Triple Science students will be required to select the subjects in this option block which will be amalgamated with the time allocated in the core curriculum. 

In light of the recent enforced closure we have instigated an additional period each day for intervention, with the exception of Tuesday’s due to staff CPD.  This additional time is not reflected above.
