Advances in science & technology are changing our societal landscape on a seemingly daily basis. If we are to succeed in equipping your child to navigate their future, a strong grounding in STEM subjects is paramount.
We teach your child to be a confident and enthusiastic scientist. We give your child the skills they need to tackle new scientific topics armed with confident critical thinking skills, an understanding of scientific methods and intellectual curiosity for what they will learn.
Science is taught as one subject to Year 6, and then split into Biology, Chemistry & Physics from Year 7. We enrich the curriculum with activities designed to engage your child and cement our position as a community leader in inspiring science:
Your child is likely to have a job that doesn’t yet exist. It will almost certainly require fluency with technology in some form. Our role is to equip your child with the skills to navigate their technological future, whatever that may look like.
For that reason, our IT curriculum is far from standard. As well as teaching the computation skills, digital literacy, computer science, programming and app / game development skills required to take GCSE and A Level at senior school, we focus on the softer skills required to be discerning and competent users.
Your child might come home and talk about the risks they need to consider about new technologies such as AI. They might tell you about malware – the laws, the risks and the measures required to stay safe online. Whatever your personal views on screens, technology is accessible 24/7 and it’s important your child is equipped to use it to their advantage for their learning and for life.
