Science

In Science we actively encourage you to be an Independent Learner and extend your knowledge outside of your normal lessons.

 

Below are some useful resources that are a good place to start when looking to develop your knowledge:

​

  • BBC Focus Magazine - An excellent, monthly magazine featuring articles on popular science and technology pitched at just the right level for our pupils. If we could only suggest one resource, this would be it.

  • A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson - Often of recommended reading lists for A-level or degree, but certainly accessible to our students. Easy to read and covers many areas of popular science.

  • Boffinology - Justin Pollard - A fantastic collection of (short) stories and anecdotes about the successes (and disasters) of a number of scientists.

 

Useful Links:
