Science is vital to the future of our world and we teach our students the essential knowledge and skills which they need to better understand it. We provide students with the foundations for understanding our world through the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, enhanced with practical experiences which we hope will ignite within them a curiosity and excitement to find out more. We ensure that students have a firm knowledge and skill base to be able to confidently progress between Key Stages.
