SCIENCE
Aims It is the aim of the Science department to create a learning environment which makes the study of science a positive and enjoyable experience for all students. Through well-designed studies of experimental and practical science, we aim to provide a worthwhile experience for all students that will enable them to acquire sufficient understanding and knowledge to become confident citizens in a technological world. They will be able to take or develop an informed interest in matters of scientific importance, and will be suitably prepared for further studies in and beyond the Sixth Form.
Course content and structure Each science class is taught Physics, Chemistry and Biology separately. We follow the Edexcel International Examinations syllabus for IGCSE in all three sciences; this leads to three separate grades at IGCSE. The‘ real world’ applications of all three sciences are stressed throughout the course. In addition, students are introduced to topics which are relevant to current scientific research. From the courses we follow, students are made aware of the importance of science in the 21st century.
