Science is a forward thinking and dynamic department. We have a philosophy of sharing good practice and leading innovation, with an open door policy and a supportive team ethos. Teachers are encouraged to be creative when developing new teaching strategies and work alongside dedicated SEN support colleagues. Schemes of work are written to support the most recent developments in the National Curriculum providing high quality detailed resources for all lessons. There is extensive use of ICT to enhance learning, much of it supported by professionally produced software.

The teaching labs were specifically designed to enhance the learning environment, and are equipped to a high specification, all teaching areas having interactive white boards. The intranet is used for efficient communication and tracking pupil progress within the department. Sophisticated tracking systems enable us to identify underachievement quickly and deploy intervention strategies effectively to maintain our current high standards of attainment. This is an exciting department to work in. It is a large and successful team which is developing the new curriculum alongside new facilities and investment.
