Science at Harborne Academy

At Harborne Academy we believe science is crucial to our understanding of the world around us. We have designed an ambitious curriculum where students get the opportunity to explore topics through practical work and investigation. It gives us the knowledge and ability to question, learn how things work and make informed decisions around debatable topics that affects our lives. All students will learn topics from biology, chemistry and physics throughout their five years with us.

KS3 Science

In Key Stage 3, we aim to provide students with a real love of science by providing lots of opportunities for investigation. The students will learn the basics of the three sciences in a spiral curriculum so that they can learn and build on how they link together. We teach an ambitious, challenging curriculum to provide our students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their GCSEs.
