In the Early Years, science is taught as part of the EYFS curriculum.  In Pre-Prep, it is taught by class teachers. From Year 3 onwards girls are taught in the aptly named Discovery Room where they get the opportunity to gain plenty of hands-on experience with a range of scientific equipment for measuring and observing so that they can collect evidence and present their findings.

Girls are taught important scientific knowledge, but they are encouraged to ask those crucial questions to develop their knowledge. From Year 3 onwards the girls are taught by a specialist teacher and receive computing teaching weekly, as well as opportunities to use digital technology in other subjects throughout the week. We use iPads in most subjects plus have a modern suite of computers and software for specialist lessons. Girls design their own games and apps, solve problems and work together to research and create content and are encouraged to present their learning in a range of ways.

We take e-Safety seriously and equip girls with the skills they need to maintain their wellbeing online. Social media and the internet are a huge part of children’s lives and we have an ongoing focus on how these platforms can be used in a healthy way with an awareness of their potential emotional impact.
