Science

Vision

Throughout a Barr’s Hill scientist’s seven-year journey students will have the opportunity to become exceptional and confident leaders of science.

They will have gained a deep understanding of all three sciences and be able to make informed links between a wide range of topics. Students will have a comprehensive understanding of scientific techniques and procedures and be able to link this to their knowledge. They will be able to analyse and, interpret and evaluate scientific information, ideas and evidence. They will have high level oracy and literacy skills, so that they are able to accurately and effectively communicate their comprehensive scientific knowledge to challenging and unfamiliar concepts. Students will be well-read and able to confidently apply their wider contextual knowledge, of science and its application in everyday life, in both their written and oral work, giving them a competitive edge over their peers. They will be highly numerate and able to apply their mathematical skills to a variety of scientific concepts supporting them in being highly effective problem solvers. Students will be well-equipped with the knowledge, skills and experience required to allow them to reach the next step in their aspiration for a career in science.
