Spring Term 2023 - Chemistry Curriculum

As we move into my favorite time of the year when the flowers start to blossom and the sunlight hangs around a little longer. I am of course talking about Spring, which is such an important time for those progressing through their KS4 GCSEs. With that in mind, I am happy to release the Spring Term 2023 Curriculum for Tuesdays at St Margarets Church, Putney. We look forward to seeing you all then and don't forget your books & calculators.
