Science
Vision
The ethos of the department is to encourage a scientific way of thinking and enquiry, to develop independent learners and extend the students’ repertoire of skills through practical experience that prepares them for life beyond school, so enhancing their experience and understanding of the scientific world that surrounds them.
The science department aims to put the pupil at the centre of their own learning by engaging and involving them in the following ways:-
- Creating a stress free learning environment that is safe and stimulating
- Create an active learning experience
- Teaching Collaboration – pupils learning from one another
- By appealing to the multiple intelligences of different learners (visual and spatial, logical/mathematical, intrapersonal, interpersonal, verbal/linguistic, musical, kinaesthetic)
- Developing effective and independent learners by teaching pupils how to learn.
- Using higher order thinking skills and blooms taxonomy to stretch our pupils
- Providing stimulating, challenging lessons
