The Science department has 13 full time teachers supported by four technicians. Facilities include nine dedicated laboratories with access to notebook computers, so that ICT skills can be used to complement the learning of Science. All of the laboratories have multimedia projectors and interactive whiteboards, supported by a wide range of science software. Psychology is introduced in the Sixth Form and comes under the Science umbrella.

These generous, modern facilities allow you to learn about the world around you through Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology. You won’t just learn the answer, you learn how to pose the question. We work together to analyse why things happen; experiment to find out how they happen; predict what will happen next time – and discuss how we can make best use of this knowledge. This is science at Colfe’s.
