Our department is deeply rooted in cognitive science, using insights from how students learn best to shape our curriculum and classroom practice. We are proud of our strong CPD culture, which focuses on both subject knowledge enhancement and subject-specific pedagogy.

Science is a popular and thriving subject in our school. Our students speak highly of their science lessons, valuing both the challenge and the curiosity they inspire. Each year, a large number of students choose to study Triple Science at GCSE, with many progressing onto Science A Levels, reflecting the strength of our teaching and the enthusiasm it generates.

If you are an experienced practitioner, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a department where teachers and students alike are inspired to explore the wonder of science.
