Science Technician & Curriculum Assistant |
We are building on the computer expertise in the faculty and looking to developing electronic resources for students to use on line.
We will continue to build on successes at KS3 and KS4 by developing ‘How Science Works‘ skills tied in with assessment for learning. This fits with the need for scientifically literacy in society.
We run very successful courses in A level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Geology and we are looking to maintain this whilst implementing the new KS5 changes.
