Science
As a department we are committed to the philosophy that during the five years with us, each pupil should:
- Have a positive experience of learning Science.
- Show continuous progression and improvement.
- Achieve her full potential.
In particular, we aspire for each pupil to develop:
- A genuine feeling for how science works: the ability to carry out calculations, understand the significance of results, and estimate whether or not an answer is reasonable.
- The ability to apply Science in everyday situations and develop an understanding of the part which Science plays in the world.
- The ability to apply Science to other subjects, such as Maths, Art, Languages, Technology and Geography.
- The ability to solve problems, present solutions clearly, and check and interpret results.
- The ability to communicate what they have learned clearly, both in written form and orally.
- The ability to work individually and as part of a group.
- The confidence to experiment and make mistakes, and persevere when problems arise.
- The ability to produce and appreciate imaginative and creative work using scientific concepts.
Our commitment to these aims and objectives will ensure that we continue to build success upon success.
