Science Success!
The Science Department were celebrating recently following successes in the GCSE Science modules. Year 10 pupil Daniel Cash set a new record with full marks in all modules taken in March. Pupils Dan Mostyn and Elan Edry followed closely behind scoring 50/50 in some of their modules.
Mrs Carol Clint, Headmistress said, “The standard of these results is testament to the excellent work of the staff in our Science Department and the hard work and enthusiasm of our pupils. The general friendly atmosphere of the school and the mutual respect that staff and pupils have for each other, which is promoted by our smaller class sizes, are factors which play a big part in our pupils being able to achieve their full potential.
Another major factor is that, at St John’s, Science begins at an early age. We have a dedicated Science Lab for our junior pupils and even our Nursery children benefit from specialist Science equipment to make experiments fun.”
Year 4 recently took advantage of the nice weather and light wind conditions to experiment with different parachutes – with a teddy as a brave volunteer!
