Science
With science we aim to keep this sense of exploration alive. There are no sure answers, only possibilities. Our students will receive a grounding in the basics of science, sometimes referred to as the core principals of energy, forces, cell biology, particle physics and scientific enquiry. They will then be charged to use these tools to help explain the dynamics of all the other aspects of science, presented through the disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.
Ultimately the goal will be to tackle GCSE, but in reality, it is the process of learning and joy of nurturing a fertile and creative brain that will always hold centre stage. It is through creativity that the subject will truly flourish, and this skill nurtured and embedded will not only serve the students well in their progress toward certificates but also in all the aspects of their future lives.
Science is not an option subject. Students entering year 9 will follow pathways leading to the following potential qualifications.
Entry level, single or double award and IGCSE single award.
