Science Department Science is a strength of the school and the department is in very good shape, with a dynamic new head of department. In short, both Winstanley and the science department are moving forward into an exciting new era. Triple Science is now being taught to all classes in Year 9 and has proved a very popular option choice for our brightest students in Years 10 and 11, a testament to how the department is currently being led. There will be a high level of support from the Head of Department, as well as the informal support offered by what is a closely knit team. Science is taught for six hours per fortnight at Key Stage 3 and ten hours per fortnight at GCSE from Year 9 onwards. Triple Science is taught as an option to the current Year 10 and Year 11 students for five hours per fortnight. An important aspect of the post is the responsibility for a tutor group. This post is suitable for a newly qualified or a more experienced teacher. First-rate support is provided for newly qualified teachers but we also recognise the importance of induction and continuing professional development for those more experienced.
