Science is composed of the Biology, Chemistry and Physics Departments, and General Science is taught as a mixed subject in Years 7 and 8.  Most Science is taught within our striking, three-storey Science Block, and we also have the General Science area that is given over to the teaching of Key Stage 3.  Some lessons are also taken in the one science laboratory in the STEM Centre.  The Centre was opened in 2018 by Professor Sir Robert Winston.

Most boys will study AQA Separate Sciences at GCSE, with a smaller cohort studying the AQA Trilogy Combined Science course.  Whatever the route, boys are taught by specialists in each of the scientific disciplines.  All three subjects have excellent numbers and a strong academic ethos at A Level.

Our bespoke Key Stage 3 course taught in Years 7 and 8 is fully aligned with the KS3 National Curriculum.  The boys begin their journey in secondary science via a curriculum that is delivered through practical-based learning wherever possible, to engage and enthuse them in the fascinating world of science.  We also focus our approach on pupils learning how to learn through the development of thinking skills.  Our aim at the end of KS3 is for learners to have developed a well-grounded knowledge of the fundamental principles that underpin the Sciences and prepare them for their KS4 course, whilst maintaining their enthusiasm for and curiosity about the subject.  They will develop an ability to think like a scientist, apply the scientific method and be able to plan and carry out investigations.
