Science evolved out of philosophy, culture, mythology and religion. In recent decades it has become an important factor in determining the everyday life of the common man. There is hardly any sphere of life science does not serve: curing diseases, preserving our food, warming us in winter and cooling us in summer, building our houses, transporting us on land and water and helping us explain the nights sky.

In the Heath Park Science Department we use practical science to inspire our pupils. The opportunity to carry out relevant and engaging scientific investigations means no pupil should ever be bored in a Heath Park science lesson! The practical basis of our teaching enables us to achieve outstanding results year on year. The results table below shows our recent year’s successes:
