Welcome to the Science Department

Our department is made up of a team of specialist Science teachers with strong subject knowledge in the fields of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.  We aim to deliver a broad and balanced science curriculum which means we teach Biology, Chemistry and Physics throughout both key stages. Students develop their disciplinary knowledge in Science through experimentation and investigation.

Please see below to learn more about the Science curriculum at St Monica’s.

Introduction: What We Believe

High-quality science education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Science has changed and continues to change our lives; Science is vital to the world’s future prosperity. Pupils at St Monica’s will build up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, methods, processes and uses of science. Pupils are encouraged to recognise the power of scientific explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. Our pupils are taught to appreciate the beauty of God’s creations and share the idea that Science and Religion are not exclusive. Our learners will also be able to use these skills to help build a better future for the global community that they will serve.
