What the school offers its staff
The department is particularly proud of its inclusive offer to all our science students at Post 16. Our Post-16 have seen record numbers within our A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics options and Vocational courses (BTEC Forensics Science, BTEC Applied Human Biology and WJEC Medical Science). Excitingly in September 2023 we embarked on a T-Level route in Heath and are due a considerable remodel of two fantastic spaces for The T level, including a mock-up hospital ward. We are looking forward to the opportunity in developing this pathway for our students. Hence this is a critical appointment for the Academy and is an exciting opportunity for you to move your career onto the next stage.
Our Science department is energetic and forward thinking. We thrive to inspire our students but find so often that they end up inspiring us!! We have a wealth of knowledge in the department and an array of 12 specialist teachers who are always willing to share their knowledge and support each other. At the same time we have 3 technicians who are specialists in their own field and are always willing to support in class with practical’s and demonstrations. We are proud of our team, our relationships with each other and our students.
