Department

Level

If you’re an educational professional who are looking to progress into management and consultancy, or an educational planning or development role, this is the best degree for you.

Science can be seen in all we touch and all we do. Our suite of subjects; Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Applied Science are designed with this in mind.

Aims and objectives of the Science Department

To provide a curriculum that is suited to the differing needs of students of all abilities that is broad, balanced and relevant to everyday life
To work together with parents/carers in supporting all students in their learning, to enable them to achieve their best possible examination grades in science
To provide a happy, caring, stable, safe and orderly environment in which the best quality of teaching, learning and development can take place;
To promote scientific thinking by learning skills and developing an understanding of scientific ideas.

We see our Science students going into many professions ranging from Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary work through Engineering to pure Research Science. The range of opportunities available to the Science graduate or apprentice is huge. Aware of our unique position within the Energy Coast we have positioned ourselves to utilise the expertise and resources around us in industry. This provides students with excellent qualifications, skills and the relevant experience to be successful within these energy based industries.

At Key Stage 3 we aim to develop curiosity and the skills needed to investigate our world. This is done through analysis of the data we generate in experiments.

At Key Stage 4 we embed key knowledge and skills to further explore the world of science and to be successful at GCSE readying our students for their next steps. We follow the AQA schemes in GCSE Biology (9-1), Chemistry (9-1) and Physics (9-1) and Combined Science: Trilogy (9-1)

At Key Stage 5 high quality teaching of skills and knowledge in relevant contexts, coupled with opportunities beyond the classroom, prepare our students for A Levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and L3 Extended Certificates in Applied Science.

The PLP in Drafting Legislation, Regulation, and Policy has been offered by the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies with considerable success since 2004.

The programme aims to promote an understanding of the principles of legislative and an awareness of what constitutes legislative quality, how this can be achieved.

Legislative drafting is often perceived as a skill that one learns on the job.
Legislative drafting has evolved to become the bedrock of political, economic and social transformation. The view of the Institute’s Sir William Doe Centre for Legislative Studies is that legislative drafting is a practical discipline requiring awareness of the principles of drafting along with great experience on the job. It is still, however, relatively unexplored as a discipline. The PLP examines issues related to the policy process, the legislative process and the drafting process.

The PLP is aimed at those seeking a career in legislative drafting, those already working as drafters or those who want a career in or already working for, organizations that produce different types of normative acts. Many of our students are mid-career drafters employed by government (for example, by LG Chambers, the Ministry of Justice or any other ministries).
