Candidates are welcomed from any specialism.

The science faculty is a key curriculum area of the school where results are significantly above the national average in both combined and individual sciences. As a large and progressive faculty there is a suite of ten science laboratories. There is also a team of technicians who support the area from a central requisition hub in the science area.
