Science is taught predominantly through scientific enquiry and practical investigations, most of the students at Jubilee enjoy the practical aspect of the Subject. We have been on several science trips including to Winchester Science Centre and the top of the Spinnaker tower, as a prize for designing and building the best Spinnaker tower out of paper straws!
Accreditation in science is very good at Jubilee with 100% of the students completing and gaining a qualification in science over the last 3 years.
Jubilee is very fortunate to have a Chartered Science teacher and a newly refurbished Science laboratory fully equipped to teach the practical aspects of the 3 separate GCSE Sciences. There is the offer of portfolio based accredited Science qualifications for students that are reluctant to complete exam-based qualifications. As Jubilee is a through school, even primary students can use the Science resources and laboratory, which is an opportunity they would not always have in other school settings.
This term we are continuing the KS4 accreditations and completing a biology topic of Health and Healthy lifestyles. In KS3 we are completing topics on the planets and Solar System and Speed and what affects speed. Year 7 are learning about safety in the laboratory and biological cells. In primary the students are learning about electricity and the planets and why we have day and night, they will also be making sundials!
