As a Specialist Science college we aim to create
a visible scientific ethos that is understood clearly by pupils,
parents and the wider community. We aim to enhance the
enthusiasm, aspirations and motivation of pupils studying
Science in school and hence increase the take up of Science in
post-16 courses of study, starting some pupils on the pathway to
becoming Scientists of the future. We believe that Science has
a vast contribution to make as it can prepare our pupils for the
technological and scientifically rich world of the future. We
use our Science status to ensure that our pupils perceive
Science as a valuable subject for their development as a person
and as a serious consideration for future career options. We
aim to raise attainment in Science by providing enrichment
opportunities for all and by extending our provision at GCSE
level to include vocational elements as well as additional
academic courses. We work closely with local businesses,
Connexions, the Warwickshire Education Partnership and further
education providers to enable pupils to understand the wide
range of careers and courses that are linked to Science.
At
Kingsbury School we have a strong tradition of working with our
partner primary schools to ensure transition from Key Stage 2-3
is a positive experience for the pupils. Our Specialist School
status enables us to develop these links both within and beyond
the curriculum. We are developing the Key
Stage 2 curriculum with
our partner primary schools by providing enrichment events and
support that enhances teaching and learning, thereby raising
their attainment.
Pupils are inspired through Science activities before they reach
Key Stage 3.
