Stage 5 Science
Unlock Curiosity. Build Mastery. Thrive in Science.
At Kite & Key Academy, we know that Stage 5 Science (Years 9–10) is a crucial stage where students develop the knowledge and skills that form the foundation for senior science and future pathways. Our calm, consistent, and structured approach is personalised to each student’s current understanding and goals, helping them bridge gaps, deepen conceptual understanding, and build the confidence to excel in biology, chemistry, physics, and earth & environmental science.
We don’t just teach facts—we ensure students truly understand scientific concepts, strengthen their investigative and problem-solving skills, and are fully prepared to meet their senior science ambitions with clarity and confidence.
