Discover more about our unique STEM curriculum and the opportunities available.

Throughout the Science curriculum we strive to have first class employer engagement with linked projects across all 3 specialisms, these occur 1 per half term. The curriculum is designed to be reviewed after each assessment period allowing us to tailor the curriculum to the student’s needs. We use the aspirational targets set for each student by the baseline testing, to reach their full potential and move onto the desired destinations. Providing a safe environment is one of our highest priorities. Each student provides a risk assessment and safety brief with every practical undertaken in the laboratories. We also link the health and safety within the laboratories to the rewards policy so that students are praised for working in a professional and responsible manner.

At it’s very core, a STEM education is about a young individuals ability to make a meaningful connection between school, community and global issues.
