Science is taught throughout the school following the guidelines
of the National Curriculum. The Prep School has a fully equipped
laboratory and adjoining prep room; science lessons are taught
by specialist teachers. The Department is well resourced with
all equipment necessary for practical investigations, and has
its own interactive white board, laptops and projectors. In the
Trinity term year 6 pupils take KS2 SATS examinations and in
years 7 and 8 pupils are prepared for ISEB Common Entrance
examinations or scholarships to independent schools. At Hilden
Grange a ‘hands on’ approach to science is encouraged. The
Science staff aim to excite and stimulate the interest of every
pupil by including as much practical and investigative work as
possible. Science Club is a very popular after school club where
children are able to indulge their passion for science in a fun
setting. Above all we want our pupils to enjoy science and to
develop a curiosity about the world around them.
