We are a fantastic team of positive, friendly and highly supportive Science teachers and technicians who strive to create the very best possible learning experience for our students. We have recently undergone age range change and now have students in every year group from KS3-5. We have created a challenging and engaging curriculum for KS3 and we are relishing the enthusiasm they bring to the school.
