Welcome to the
Science Department
Our aims and objectives are:- 
To create and sustain an interest and enjoyment in Science.
To acquire a systematic body of scientific knowledge and understanding, applied to how science works and its essential role in society.
To develop a critical approach to scientific methods and evidence.
To develop an understanding of the technological and environmental applications of Science and its impact on the local and wider communities, including those related to the environment and quality of life.
To encourage literacy, numeracy and I.T. skills.
The pupils will be taught:-
To recall, understand and apply scientific knowledge to familiar and unfamiliar situations.
To carry out experimental and investigative work safely in which they plan procedures, obtain evidence, analyse to draw conclusions and evaluate the evidence.
To make informed judgements on the impact of Science on society and the environment.
To communicate scientific ideas and arguments using appropriate scientific language, develop basic skills of numeracy to allow processing of scientific data and use I.T. to collect, present, access and manipulate scientific information.
