The Science team seek to deliver lessons which challenge all students by using a full variety of teaching and learning strategies. The student lies at the heart of the assessment process, and we use a wide range of formative, evaluative, and summative approaches to support them in their learning. Science is a popular subject, and the department is a successful one and has been for many years. Students in recent years have gone on to study a Science or Medicine at top universities, including Oxbridge, and there is considerable support and encouragement for these students from the department. It is a friendly department with a well-qualified, committed team of subject specialists, who enjoy working collaboratively. The department is well supported with three technicians and has many dedicated rooms which are all situated together.
