Science Values statement

The aim of teaching science in our schools is to be curious about the world around us, to learn through scientific discovery, and to be scientists and innovators of the future whilst becoming well rounded individuals.  We aim to encourage our pupils to develop a positive and practical approach to science. We also seek to develop key scientific skills, combine knowledge with practical application and establish cross-curricular links, where appropriate. We build understanding of the ‘Big Ideas’ in Science that are relevant to pupils’ lives during and beyond Academy.

Science is a core GCSE subject as well as an essential requirement for most Science-based career routes. At KS4, depending on their academic ability, pupils will either study Combined Science or separate sciences. All pupils will study key aspects of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
