What do we do?
We provide opportunities for our students to develop their curiosity, practical investigation skills and a love for science through relevant, engaging and challenging lessons.
Through our science curriculum we nurture and support our students so that they better understand the world around them and about how science fits into society and their everyday experiences.
Our progressive curriculum helps to build and grow scientific knowledge and practical skills that prepare students for appropriate accreditation that will support future life and career choices.
How do we do it?
We deliver a broad science curriculum that consists of bespoke units that incorporate the key principles of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Scientific Enquiry.
The knowledge and skills learnt in key stage 3 sets the foundations for key stage 4 accredited pathways that include Entry Level Science and Level 1 BTEC in Applied Science.
Science lessons are engaging, visual, fun, relevant and enable students to learn through doing.
Many of our lessons take learning outside of the classroom to encourage student to understand and look after their environment and notice the science that is all around them.
We use student EHCPs to inform our planning and teaching so that the needs of every individual are considered.
Why do we do it?
We deliver science to support our students to develop a love for this subject and to gain a better understanding of the world around them. We want to empower our students to be curious, to ask questions and to have the investigative skills and knowledge to be able to try and find out the answers.
We want students to gain appropriate accreditation in this subject that will support their future career decisions and pathways into adulthood.
We use the teaching of science to support student progress towards EHCP desired outcomes in all 4 areas of need.
