Departments: Science
However, we also realise that learning takes place beyond the classroom. We have a series of link ups with Warwick and Coventry University at both pre and post 16. The Ogden Trust, a charitable organisation supporting the development and teaching of Physics, has strong ties with Finham Science and we have worked closely with undergraduates from Oxford and Bristol. The department regularly runs trips and activity days including our ever-popular Rocket Launch competition. Events such as Sub Zero Physics help cater for our Gifted and Talented students. The science department is a great place to learn where nothing is impossible. If someone says: "That's impossible" you should understand it as: "According to my very limited experience and narrow understanding of reality, that's very unlikely."

The Science team at Finham Park are committed to delivering a high quality lively interesting and above all scientifically rich curriculum. Unlike most schools in Coventry, and indeed in England, Finham has a full range of qualified Biology, Chemistry and Physics specialist teachers. With this specialist knowledge and experience we offer the greatest range of curriculum pathways of any department at Finham. From our new "Big Ideas" KS3 curriculum students can follow 4 routes through KS4. With a variety of assessment structures for level 2 qualifications (KS4) we can offer a progression route to suit just about any learner through KS4. With guidance and support on courses and progression this years level 2 results (KS4) for science gave over 90% of students at least 2 A*-C or equivalent - and we still follow our policy of entering every student on role in KS4. The department also offers a variety of course in KS5 with a choice of applied forensic science, traditional science A levels and all sciences via the International Baccalaureate.
