Science Colleges Mission Statement

Science colleges will use their specialist status to create a challenging environment which raises standards of achievement and the quality of teaching and learning in science and mathematics for all their students, leading to whole school improvement in performance.

A science college will provide a centre of excellence in scientific, technological, enterprising and vocational education.

It will be an active contributor to local and national developments within science and mathematics and will encourage young people to pursue science and mathematics beyond 16, providing them with appropriate learning pathways so that they develop the skills needed to be active citizens within an increasingly scientific world and to progress into employment, further training and higher education according to their individual abilities, aptitudes and ambitions.

 Science colleges will be active partners in a learning society with their local families of schools and their communities, sharing resources and disseminating good practice.
