Our Vision

We aim to create the best learning environment for all students in Science. To build a place of knowledge, experience and education which inspires, supports, encourages and empowers every student to be a positive citizen of the world; equipped with the skills and knowledge to achieve their full potential. Students will realise the important role that Science has to play in every aspect of their lives and enjoy developing their scientific understanding of everything. We aim to build a 'can do' attitude where students feel safe to express their views and apply their knowledge and understanding to new and unfamiliar contexts. We promote equality and inclusion where every student matters and encourage collaboration with peers regardless of background, gender, race belief or ability.
