Science

The Science Department team consists of seven teachers, including an Assistant Head Teacher, and two full time technicians.

The Science staff members are, without exception, a conscientious and dedicated team who can be relied upon to do their best for the pupils.

There are six laboratories, five of which have been refurbished within the last ten years. The department is well equipped and each child at Key Stage 3 is issued with a text book to help them with their studies.

At Key Stage 4 we have a range of text books and software for use in school and, again each child on a GCSE course has a text book for home study. The Vocational Science pupils have access to a specially designed website tailored to the course.

At Key Stage Three we have just completed the process of writing our own scheme, over a three year period, to deliver the new National Curriculum.

At Key Stage Four we offer both ‘academic’ and ‘vocational’ Science courses.
