Science Student Views

Children and young people can offer unique perspectives on what it is like to be a student at their school. At Boldon School, we value the views of our students, involving them in decision-making, helping to shape our curriculum, as well as facilitating a sense of empowerment and inclusion.

We have a whole-school commitment to listening to the views, wishes and experiences of all children and young people. It means placing value on what children and young people tell school staff about their experiences. This is of particular importance across each subject area. We try to promote meaningful opportunities to share their experiences, views and hopes about their school. To build a safe environment, better relationships across the whole school community and empower students with the knowledge that what they say is valued and will be listened to and considered.

We are proud to hear their views about our curriculum, teachers and the learning environment we create:

Science is really fun, even when we are not doing practical work. My lessons have made me consider a future career in science, it is impossible to be bored in science.

Year 9

I enjoy doing experiments in class, it makes it easier for me to understand tough scientific concepts. Learning through doing experiments is helping me to prepare for my exams next year and I am noticing a difference in my grades.

I feel like I am making excellent progress in science due to the support I receive from my biology, chemistry and physics teachers. I am encouraged to challenge myself and this is helping me progress towards my target grade. Science lessons at Boldon have inspired me to consider taking biology further at sixth form.
