EXPRESSIVE ARTS

We have had a fantastic academic year in the S cience depar tment, star ting with excellent results from the GCSE examinations, par ticularly the separate award S cience groups, who produced an outstanding set of results. We have been on an exciting journey this year, improving the core sk ills and attributes of all of our scientists from Year 7 up to Year 13, which has resulted in pieces of scientific work that are of a higher qualit y than ever before seen at K ings’! For example, we have seen unbelievable ‘escape to space’ projec ts from our Year 8 scientists, fantastic medical analysis work from Year 12 biologists and superb Antarc tica-based research station models, which our Year 7 scientists have built from scratch! There has been an amazing surge in scientific curiosit y this year, due to both the love for Science within the K ings’ communit y, and the persistent hard work from ever y science teacher to bring each student the best science education they could ever have.

We have had many exciting oppor tunities take place this year, such as medical professors giving seminars about DNA analysis and inheritance to our KS4&5 students, internal science debates and competitions. However, without doubt, our most exciting moment of the year was winning the annual Golden Bunsen Burner science competition, where 4 of our K ings’ students beat ever y other school in Dubai with their superior scientific k nowledge and talent! We look for ward to rolling out many more oppor tunities nex t year, and keeping the S cience corridors buzzing with enthusiasm and excitement!
