In Mathematics, students have been learning about number and language.

In Biology, students have been studying about characteristics of living organisms and how to use a microscope to study and observe the very small organisms. other topics include cells, movement in and out of cell and Enzymes. The microscopes have helped them to look in detail at the plant and animal cells.  

During their Chemistry lessons, our students have carried out a practical investigation focusing on observing diffusion.

Our IGCSE programme has started with an introduction to general physics.  Students have recently been planning an experiment on measuring speed.
