Mission Statement and Science College Objectives
Our mission as a Science College is for:
- the pupils in our partner schools to be excited by the prospect of studying science at the Crypt,
- our pupils to be enthused by the science they are studying,
- our pupils to be enabled to succeed and pursue science as far as they want to and are able to.
As a Science College we will continue to develop our own vision of education with character – an emphasis on the individual with access to a flexible and responsive curriculum and the education of the whole person through high quality of curriculum enhancement and enrichment activities. We wish to foster a learning community where new teaching technologies are embraced and independent learning is encouraged and to advance a “can do” ethos where self-esteem is promoted and high expectations are matched by high aspirations. These aims will be achieved through the following objectives:
SA1: To raise standards of achievement in Science and Maths through the increased quality of teaching and learning.
SA2: To extend curricular opportunities in Science and Maths, including subject enrichment areas, out of hours learning, industry/business links and the relationship between specialist subjects.
SA3: To increase take-up and interest in specialist subject courses, particularly post-16.
CA1: Provide high quality learning opportunities in the specialist subjects and higher standards through sharing specialist facilities and resources with partner schools and developing and disseminating good practice.
CA2: Provide high quality learning opportunities through the specialist subjects for members of, and groups within, the school’s wider community, including local business.
