Year 9 pupils started the academic
year learning about the Microscope

use of microscope to identify
pathogens such as COVID-19, a type
of virus. In addition, within practical
context, they were able to use the
microscope to explore cells that made
up all organisms.

All equipment and
models used in our
science lessons are
thoroughly wiped with
antibacterial before and
after use.

All Year 10 started their Entry Pathways qualification in science with a module on
Working with Electrical Circuits. Within practical context, they have been exploring a
