Science at St James's
Science represents one of the pinnacles of human thinking. At St James’s our principle aim is to enrich the lives of our young learners to inspire them to become the scientists of the future. Science lessons are thought provoking, stimulating and challenging, yet fun. Science teaching and learning at St James’s provides our young learners with an appreciation, knowledge and understanding of scientific facts, history, methods and applications that develops their practical and investigative skills. Our young scientists will become critical thinkers, problem solvers and have enquiring minds.
The Department
We have 7 well equipped Science Laboratories which are supported by 1 prep room.
