Science Practical Success

The Science Faculty have worked tirelessly to adapt our delivery of practical based lessons to the covid guidelines and thanks to the work of our Technician Team have been a great success. We have maintained most of our practicals with the supply of extra equipment individually supplied in trays and a ‘self-isolation’ rota for specialist equipment that can’t be sanitised easily with detergents.

Despite the GCSE Science exam boards removing the ‘requirement to perform practicals’ the 2021, exams will still test this knowledge with specific exam questions about a Required Practical on every exam paper. We strongly believe a hands-on approach will aid our students understanding of these skills and so will continue to adapt our delivery of this experience to them as long as is necessary to keep everyone safe.
