This is resulting in large numbers of students choosing to study the triple sciences at GCSE, along with ever-increasing numbers of students studying the sciences at A level. The Science department consists of 8 dedicated Science labs, each of which is well equipped to deliver specialist teaching through to A Level. Each lab contains a newly installed interactive Promethean board. The Science team consists of 13 members of teaching staff covering biology, chemistry and physics specialisms. Three experienced Science Technicians work with the teaching staff to provide our students with as many practical opportunities as possible. Staff wellbeing is a priority, therefore up-to-date shared lesson slides and other resources are available.

At A Level, Biology and Chemistry follow the OCR A specifications, Physics follows the AQA specification. The Science department works closely with our excellent careers team to take the lead in a wide range of STEM opportunities for students. Recent experiences include: Year 9 trip to GE Health
