Science

Science at The Park allows students to connect and understand the ideas, uses and implications of Science today and in the future. We aim for students to leave with clear explanations of the world we live in.

We bring a mixture of practical work and theory into all aspects of the curriculum which includes the tradition of scientific enquiry, according to the principles of scientific method.

We stress the relevance of science beyond the classroom and, in this sense, teach Science as a fundamental building block for life beyond school. We seek to develop a lifelong love of learning and to empower students to think independently.

Science is a vibrant, ever-changing, relevant subject that affects every walk of life and this is reflected in how we teach and what we offer all our students. In KS3 we offer topics in line with the National Curriculum to ensure breadth of experience. In KS4 our focus is on gaining qualifications and enquiry-based learning through Entry Level Science and BTEC Level 1 Applied Science.

By offering a broad curriculum and different assessment and accreditation pathways, every student will leave with the skill set and qualifications they need to transition into their post 16 provision.
