All students in year 9 have 6 hours of Science teaching per fortnight, which increases to 10 hours in years 10 and 11. At A level, we offer Biology, Chemistry, Physics as well as BTEC Human Biology, all taught by subject specialists, and recruit very well.
The ethos of the team is extremely positive, with a proven track record of excellent outcomes. We are aspirational, dedicated and innovative in our shared practice.

We have brand new generously sized science laboratories, all equipped with projectors and white boards. The whole school is covered by a wireless network, which enables all teachers to use their school-provided laptops in any classroom and allows students to use their own laptops and wifi-enabled devices where this is appropriate within the curriculum. Every student and member of staff has their own e-mail account and full access to the internet and intranet.
