Science

At Saltley Academy, our unwavering commitment to inspiring students through Science allows us to transform them into curious, independent scientists with exceptional oracy skills. We believe that fostering a passion for Science alongside effective communication abilities empowers our students to collaboratively question and thoughtfully explain worldly phenomena with confidence and clarity.
From the moment they join us in year 7 until they complete year 11, our students embark on an educational journey that nurtures a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts in each of the three sciences: Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

At Key Stage 3 we provide a knowledge rich captivating science course that prepares students for Key Stage 4 and motivates them to pursue further studies in science. The Key Stage 4 Science curriculum has been structured for the purpose of reinforcing and building upon vocabulary, concepts and visual models studied in the Key Stage 3 Science Curriculum.

Through our dynamic and innovative interleaving curriculum, students not only explore the ten 'Big ideas' of science but also acquire the essential scientific skills required to comprehend the present and future implications of science.
