Secondary and Sixth Form Intent

We prepare our students for university and to be leaders in their community by:

  • Exposing students to STEM careers and the fundamental science underpinning the world around them.
  • Allowing students to form their own ideas and and then test them scientifically.
  • Questioning, testing, interpreting evidence and communicating key scientific concepts.

So that students make decisions based on evidence and lead the scientific discoveries of tomorrow.
