The Science Department is a committed and hard working department. We have 8 full time teachers, 1 part time teacher and 3 full time technicians. Science is taught in 8 well equipped labs.
Key Stage 3
At Key Stage 3 we follow a modular approach based around the QCA Schemes of Work with departmentally produced resources. We place great importance on practical investigations and thinking skills. We are currently developing our use of ICT to support learning. Last year 72% of our pupils achieved level 5 and above.
Key Stage 4
Over recent years pupils have consistently been successful in Key Stage 4. At KS4 students follow either a BTEC in Applied Science route or GCSE; AQA Science B (in year 10) followed by AQA Additional Science in year 11. In addition we have some students who complete triple science (separate GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics) as an option.
Last year % of pupils achieved GCSE A*-C grades and the overall pass level was 98%.
The Department works closely as a team, sharing good practice and supporting each other. Creative and innovative ideas and approaches are always welcome.
