From September 2005 Skinners’ has been designated a Specialist School with Science status. This has made possible improved facilities for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics; as well as the expansion of Electronics.  The school has planned a range of projects in order to enhance Science learning at Skinners’ and beyond (please click here to see some of our community science work).

Specialist Staffing

Within a science Department of 10 teachers and 3 technicians, we have 3 full time Biology Specialists, 3 full time Chemistry Specialists, and 3 full time Physics Specialists (2 of whom teach Electronics too). We also have 1 part time Science Teacher.

Accommodation

7 of our 8 laboratories are now conveniently placed on the same floor of the same building, with our new General Science and Community Laboratory on the floor below.
