        I did in secondary school. When i started GCSE, I did triple science, so I could get a better idea of what subjects were under which science heading. I also took both Chemistry and Biology at A level.
        Honestly primary school might be a bit too long ago for me to remember, i think we did some basic biology, but not a lot of chemistry or physics.
        During my first year of A levels, i was lucky to be picked to take part in a scheme, called the Nuffield Bursary scheme, where i spent 4 weeks over the summer holidays working at Manchester university in their labs, and given my own project to complete, that tied into the work that the other people there were doing. Whilst it was sad to lose some of my holiday, it was a really good experience, and an excellent opportunity to get a look at what a science career is like, if thats something you are interested in
