The Science Department was refurbished as part of our involvement in the BSF programme and this included the rebuilding of 8 brand new laboratories. Science results are improving year on year and is a popular subject across the School, with uptake for courses at Post 16 being particularly high. The department works very effectively as a team and there are opportunities for support and mentoring for staff at all levels of development. This is alongside the substantial whole-school professional development programme that is embedded. St. Augustine’s prides itself on its staff development and the opportunities for this.
