What the school offers its staff
The Science Department has had significant investment over recent years and is supported by a dedicated Technician. The Department is well resourced and laptops are provided to all staff. KS3 pupils follow an inspiring two-year practical course leading to Combined or Triple Science in KS4.There has been a significant investment over the summer of 2021 on new texts both at KS3 and KS4 including an e-learning package. During the summer of 2022, a programme of full refurbishment of all laboratory’s commenced and is due to be completed early autumn of this year.
