The science curriculum at Nailsea School provides balanced courses with all pupils studying elements of biology, chemistry and physics to Key stage IV.
The faculty uses a range of teaching and learning styles set out in schemes of work in order to meet the above aims. These include experimental and investigative work, small group discussions, project work, the use of secondary resources to enable pupils to do research, and a variety of reporting and presentation modes. The emphasis is on empowering students to make decisions for themselves in increasing degrees throughout their curriculum.
