We have three fully resourced laboratories in a new state-of-the-art Senior building. The Science department consists of seven Science teachers and one lab technician. The college offers varied opportunities for personal and professional development through a model that gives teachers voice, choice, and agency.

At A Level our students study the CAIE 9702 curriculum. We currently offer two learning pathways at IGCSE: Coordinated Science (Double) CAIE 0654, or Separate Sciences (Triple) CAIE 0625.
