Science
Curriculum Overview
Our science curriculum aims to ensure that all students:
- Develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry, and physics.
- Develop an understanding of the nature, processes, and methods of science.
- Acquire and apply scientific knowledge, understanding, and skills to explain natural phenomena.
- Are equipped with the scientific skills required to evaluate claims based on scientific evidence.
- Develop an understanding of the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.
Physics
Physics allows students to gain a deeper understanding of how the world is made up and gives students the fundamental knowledge to be successful in the other areas within the science curriculum.
Chemistry
Chemistry allows students to consider how factors affect the world in which they live. We explore a range of topics including global warming and pollution which allows students to consider moral thinking, the direct impact that their actions have on the planet and an understanding of wider cultural and contemporary issues.
Biology
Students will develop an understanding of the world directly around them. They will explore a range of topics that include systems within the human body, preventing diseases and lifestyle and human health. This curriculum allows students to consider real-life scenarios and how science can affect them and the world around them on a daily basis.
