This can create a supportive and collaborative professional environment. Whether you're an ECT looking to launch your career or an experienced teacher seeking a new challenge, this exciting opportunity is for you.
We believe that Science is best learned and understood through experimentation and investigation.
In lower school, lessons have a practical focus to allow pupils to develop their "can-do" skills and knowledge through direct hands-on experience. We look at examples of how Science is applied in the real world to encourage pupils to further develop their understanding before moving to more abstract Scientific concepts.
In upper school, most pupils study the Edexcel GCSE (9- 1) Combined Science course which allows them to continue a balanced approach to their Biology, Chemistry and Physics studies and results in a Double Science GCSE award. Some pupils make an option choice at the end of Year 9 to study Triple Award science resulting in 3 GCSEs.
