Science

Science is taught throughout the school following the guidelines of the National Curriculum. The Prep School has a fully equipped laboratory and adjoining prep room; science lessons are taught by specialist teachers.

The Department is well resourced with all equipment necessary for practical investigations, and has its own interactive white board, laptops and projectors.

In the Trinity term year 6 pupils take KS2 SATS examinations and in years 7 and 8 pupils are prepared for ISEB Common Entrance examinations or scholarships to independent schools.

At Hilden Grange a ‘hands on’ approach to science is encouraged. The Science staff aim to excite and stimulate the interest of every pupil by including as much practical and investigative work as possible.

Every year we raise the profile of science within National Science Week and we regularly enter a team in the Salter’s Festival of Chemistry competition.

Science Club is a very popular after school club where children are able to indulge their passion for science in a fun setting.

Above all we want our pupils to enjoy science and to develop a curiosity about the world around them.
