Science at Highfield Humanities College

All pupils in Key Stage 3 are taught Science for 3 periods per week in one of our well equipped, purpose built, Science Labs. The course we have chosen for KS3 is WIKID SCIENCE.

Every science lesson, whatever the topic, gets students motivated to learn. Themed units set science in dozens of relevant contexts. Then the engagement is converting into real understanding. Wikid teaching sequences are built from the ground up on the best learning research.

In Years 10 and 11 all pupils then move on to study GCSE Science.

Able pupils who either intend to pusure Science at Level three or who have a particular interest in Science may opt to take Science Triple Award which is equivalent to 3 full GCSE Grades.

Highfield Science Department consists of 11 Teachers, 9 Laboratories and 2 Laboratory Technicians. We also have 5 preparation rooms allowing a high level of practical investigation in each course.

The Science Faculty has strong links with local primary schools and aims to make the transition between primary and secondary Science education smooth. The students prior knowledge and understanding is assessed and lessons are delivered to enable the students to progress. A variety of teaching strategies are used to meet the needs of all students.
