Science & practical learning

Practical requirements are treated as delivery requirements, not footnotes.

A science or practical subject can only become an EF Legacy offering when the relevant practical, safety, resource and examination arrangements have been verified for that syllabus.

Practical readiness

Subject activation checks can require equipment, supervised practical activity, approved external arrangements or other syllabus-specific capability before an offering is opened.

Safety and safeguarding

Practical activities must be designed for the learner's context, with appropriate safety instructions, supervision expectations and safeguarding boundaries.

No invented equivalence

Internal activities do not replace externally required practical or examination components. Version-specific requirements remain pending until authoritative syllabus evidence is verified.
