Science

At Ingleton Middle School, Science is not an armchair subject; it is an opportunity for pupils to gain knowledge through investigation, practical work and experimentation.  Building closely on skills and information acquired at Primary School, Science teaches pupils to question and think for themselves so that they are well prepared for examination, and their future studies at Settle College.

Pupils study in mixed ability classes covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics through a combination of units.  Great emphasis is placed on making these units relevant to the lives and experiences of pupils so that they appreciate and therefore internalise what they are learning.  Our aim is to maximise the potential of all by challenging individuals within an environment that is both academic and supportive.

The school has an extremely well equipped laboratory that has recently been refurbished; this provides a wonderful learning environment that pupils find both stimulating and conducive to creative work.  Science facilities extend outside to a wildlife area that provides a further much-used resource for lessons and enrichment.  Extra-curricular Science is popular and pupils now have the opportunity to embark on Crest Awards.
