The Trinity Science department strives to offer an excellent science education to students of all year groups and abilities. Our teachers are subject specialists and aim to ensure that all learners make good progress in every lesson. We have high expectations of our students in terms of behaviour, attitude and effort.
It is our intention to have a curriculum which is taught in an engaging, stimulating and intellectually challenging environment which will:
· Provide a knowledge-rich curriculum which generates an inquisitive, healthy curiosity of the world and its place in the universe and a sense of wonder at its complexity and beauty.
· Highlight the significant role science plays supporting the health and wellbeing of societies and individuals.
· Promote respect for the living and non-living world and the essential role science must play in the conservation and protection of the world’s natural resources.
· Increase scientific literacy and engagement with science in the news, developing the knowledge, wisdom and skills required to make informed decisions based on evidence and fact, to take appropriate actions that affect their own well-being, the wellbeing of society and the environment.
· Develop the scientific skills required to understand the uses and implications of scientific developments now and in the future.
· Stimulate thought and awareness of the applications and real-world importance of scientific study.
· Ignite curiosity and prepares for future learning and employment.
· To provide the knowledge and skills required to secure outstanding GCSE grades as a steppingstone to pursuing sciences to degree level and beyond.
