The Science Department consists of 6 teaching staff, 2 specialist teachers for each of the 3 Sciences, all with at least a degree and teaching qualification in their subject and one technician. 

The overriding aim of the Science Department is to stimulate curiosity, interest and enjoyment in Science. All students, irrespective of their gender, ethnic origin or academic ability have equal access to Science at KS3 and 4 and have the opportunity to experience success and enjoyment in their Science work.

We strive to develop all of our students to their maximum potential; to enable them to see Science in the context of a wider body of knowledge and have a growing awareness of its implications, to develop informed opinions and support them by reasonable arguments.

The Department currently has 5 dedicated laboratories on 2 levels with specialist areas for Biology, Chemistry and Physics, each with an interactive SMART board and a computer with a digital projector. There is a preparation room next to each of the labs. 

Combined Science is taught up to year 9, in the upper school the Sciences are offered as single subjects; in year 10 students choose between a combination of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.  Science lessons throughout the school are practical based with laboratory exercises focused on independent enquiry and the nature of ideas and evidence.  Lessons are planned to include a variety of activities, these include practical investigations, book work, use of interactive white boards, group work, presentations, producing posters and concept maps, 3D displays and photographs.  The Department also organises day trips to museums as well as residential trips and invites speakers wherever possible.  Links are made with the primary school and with other curriculum areas during Science Week and whole school activity days.

Class sizes are small allowing staff to spend more time with each student thus making learning more personalised.  This allows staff to know individual students better and to have a clearer understanding of their needs and how to meet them.

In all Sciences students are assessed on their knowledge and understanding of the subject, how they handle information and solve problems and their experimental skills.  Assessment is an integral part of the teaching and learning process which can be used to modify teaching methods, provide feedback and indicate student progress.

When students leave the school up to date records can be passed onto to the new school. 

Many aspects of Science are concerned with differing cultures, as an international school we have people of different ethnic groups with experiences from different cultural backgrounds. Science teaching includes activities which portray a world view as seen from different cultural perspectives in a context to which all students can relate and which values equally the experiences of all.
