At St Hild's, our Science curriculum has been designed to include memorable and engaging activities that encourage deep thinking. At Key Stage 3, we follow the national curriculum that gives pupils a secure foundation in the fundamental concepts of science. For Key Stage 4 pupils, we offer AQA Trilogy Science and Separate Science.

With a strong Christian ethos we work effectively across the whole community to improve and enrich the lives of children. We are incredibly proud to be an inclusive school with a higher than average number of children who have additional needs. As a result we prioritise high quality classroom teaching and provide bespoke support where appropriate.

In return we offer:

• Great opportunities for continuing professional development and a career pathway across the trust.
