Science Faculty

Our Vision
At Hayesfield, we aim for our students to flourish into tomorrow’s scientists and science-literate citizens. Thanks to excellent teaching and state-of-the-art facilities, we inspire our students to be passionate about science. We give them the freedom to explore science creatively in a setting that offers bespoke support both in and out of the classroom. We carefully nurture our students, guiding them to aim high and choose the courses best suited to their needs and abilities. Many go on to achieve excellent results in a variety of science courses in our Mixed Sixth Form, where we offer traditional A Levels and Applied Science.

We are very proud of our students’ success in years 12 and 13, which is reflected by the number of students choosing to pursue science into further education and beyond.

activities to engender and excitement in the subject.
