Science
Our Curriculum Intent
The Science department will bring out the best by inspiring students to develop their curiosity, relating scientific concepts taught in the classroom, to enquire about the world around them. This will enable all our young people to consider the impact of their decisions and become responsible citizens. We want our students to think like a Scientist- to ask questions, think methodically, solve problems, and evaluate evidence. Science is important because without questioning how things around us work, society cannot develop.
