The Department

The department is comprised of 6 individual departments of subject specialists, each with a Head of Department responsible for the daily managing of their subject area, who are overseen by the Head of Science Faculty. At A Level, the combined Sixth Form means that classes are taught across the two sites and are all taught to the AQA Specification. At GCSE, the Boys' School currently teaches to the Edexcel IGCSE Specification, while the Girls' School teaches to the AQA Specification. In both schools, students are offered the choice of separate Science and Dual Award, with Separate Science remaining a popular choice. At KS3, each department has devised a unique scheme of work to develop and support students in their early learning of Science. On top of curriculum teaching, we also offer a range of clubs and activities across the two sites aimed at stimulating and encouraging a love of Science. These activities range from KS3 Pet Club to STEM Project Clubs to Department Clinics
