Click here to download the Science Curriculum Summaries Science is taught throughout the school, following the guidelines of the National Curriculum. The children are tested at the end of Key Stage 2 and the papers marked externally.
In addition to this, Years 5 to 8 follow the Common Entrance syllabus which mirrors the National Curriculum to prepare them for entry to Public Schools by Common Entrance or by a scholarship.
In Nash House, the science is taught by the class teacher and assistant in the classroom. In Lower School, the teaching takes place in a fully-equipped laboratory by a science specialist. The Upper School teaching takes place in two modern, extensively-equipped laboratories by three specialist science teachers assisted by a laboratory technician.
