Faculty
Mission Statement
It is the aim of the Faculty to equip all students with a core knowledge of science in order that they may make sense of, appreciate and make informed decisions about many aspects of science that they will meet in employment or their private lives.
The skills that underpin many subjects, including science, will be constantly used and revisited so that students can become a functional and effective member of the society that they will become part of in adult life.
Characteristics of the Department
Science results are good and show a trend of improvement year on year. The staff have a varied background, many having worked in industry before entering teaching. The faculty is recognised for both trialling and developing new teaching methods across the Key stages.

Student Activities
The main emphasis, where possible, is for students to learn by getting involved in practical experiments. Students are encouraged to develop and use a variety of life skills in the contexts of the subject. The range of styles adopted are group work, experiments, individual projects, whole class teaching.
