Science

The Science curriculum delivered at Central Foundation Girls School is one that strives to support students mastering the breadth and depth of scientific knowledge through developing the skills needed to be a 21st Century Scientist through discussion, investigation and research . We want to inspire and ignite curiosity through helping our students make sense of the wider world as well as the use and implications of Science today and for the future. Our ultimate goal is to empower our students and play a pivotal role in helping them to make informed life choices about their future.

Our curriculum aims to develop a range of transferable skills such as problem solving, analytical and critical thinking, creativity and communication. We aim to achieve this by ensuring that the curriculum is accessible to all so that every student can make progress and be successful.

Our offer is supported by providing students opportunities to take part in a wide range of experiences outside of the classroom in order to experience Science in a real life context and increase their awareness of the diverse range of opportunities that are available in the world of Science.
