A Meditation
by John Henry Newman
God has created me to do
Him some definite service.
He has committed some work
to me which He has not
committed to another
I am a link in a chain,
a bond of connection
between persons.
He has not created me
for naught.
I shall do good
I shall do His work.
The Aims of the Science Department are:
The Science Faculty at Cardinal Newman Catholic School aims to provide students with high quality Science Education in all years. It is our aim to equip students to either be able to study Science beyond school or be scientifically literate and so understand some of the scientific issues facing us today.
Key Stage 3
Science at Key stage 3 is based on the national framework. Currently we use Hodder Science as our main resource. This is, however, supplemented by a wide range of other resources.
Key Stage 4
At Key Stage 4 we undertake the Edexcel GCSE Modular Double Award : Science framework. This involves students undertaking examinations in 6 modules in year 10 and a further 6 in year 11. Additionally students undertake practically based coursework and synoptic papers.
A-Level
At A-level we offer students the opportunity of studying for both AS and A2 in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Throughout all years the students will experience a wide range of teaching and learning styles. These include research activities, presentations, practical work, problem solving and investigatory work.
