What the college says

Science at Loxford Science is intrinsically fascinating and inspiring, and while the inquisitiveness of the young lends itself naturally to scientific study and endeavour, nobody ever really loses the desire to know more about the workings of the world around them.

We aim to ensure that students are given the experiences which will enable them to: • gain the necessary knowledge and understanding to become confident citizens in an ever increasingly technological world • recognise both the usefulness and the limitations of scientific technique • realise that Science is relevant to many aspects of everyday life • continue their studies in a scientific field after they leave school, should they wish to do so Science teaching focuses on student centred learning which encourages the development of scientifically literate students equipped to succeed in the twenty first century.
