Welcome to Science

• Scientists explore our world from the insides of atoms to the vast expanse of our universe. 
• Science educates students to treat their bodies and our environment with respect, understanding and awe.
• Science enables students to learn how to interact with their surroundings and learn life long investigation skills

We will connect their lessons to real life context, highlighting science in everyday situations through concrete examples and practical applications.

We will teach our students to become scientists for life and enable them to gain the confidence to become critically informed citizens.

We help students to nurture a curiosity of how and why things work, building upon existing knowledge, through problem solving in engaging, inspiring lessons.

In science we build wisdom in our students by giving them a greater understanding of the world around them and where they fit in to both society and the wider environment. Through the study of human biology, they learn to appreciate themselves and others as unique and wonderfully made: differences are also celebrated through the study of genetics and variation. Not only do we look to ourselves, we look beyond ourselves to discover and enjoy difference; we want to celebrate amazing scientists from all backgrounds and through our curriculum give students the inspiration to develop and fulfil greater aspirations.

Within this context, we encourage them to be courageous advocates for change through the study of climate change, critically analysing the impact humans are having on the Earth. We offer students the knowledge to then question and reflect on their learning and, through the advancement of science, we teach them to look at modern practices from a moral and ethical standpoint, building in reflection, debate, respectful listening and healthy disagreement.

Students study Science to gain the knowledge and skills to prepare for the future to make the right choices about health, the environment and play a vital role in their community. Students will learn to have faith in themselves and through practical skills, develop their creativity, determination and resilience; skills vital for future technological and scientific advances.

Science is a subject encompassing three separate disciplines, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. While they are treated as three separate subjects, the links between them are made explicit both within Science and across the whole school curriculum. Skills learnt within Science are also made transferrable across the curriculum: numeracy and graph skills are taught in line with Maths while we use every opportunity to broaden student vocabulary, literacy and extended writing.
