Science
Biology, Chemistry and Physics
At Royal Docks Academy, we believe that a high-quality science education provides every student with the knowledge, skills, and curiosity needed to understand and shape the world around them. Through the disciplines of biology, chemistry, and physics, our students explore the fundamental principles that underpin life, matter, and the universe.
Science at Royal Docks Academy is dynamic, relevant, and continually evolving. It helps students to engage critically with some of the most significant issues of our time — from health and sustainability to energy, technology, and the environment. Through scientific learning, students come to appreciate the complexity of life and the impact human actions have on our planet.
Our curriculum is designed to build a strong foundation of core knowledge and key scientific concepts. Students are encouraged to think analytically, question evidence, and apply rational explanation to real-world contexts. They develop a sense of excitement, curiosity, and respect for the natural world, understanding how scientific ideas explain what is happening, predict outcomes, and analyse causes and effects.
At Royal Docks Academy, science education fosters confidence, independence, and critical thinking. It enables students to appreciate how interconnected scientific principles describe the world, and how these ideas have universal application.
For all learners, science provides the foundation for understanding the natural world and equips them to make informed decisions in an increasingly technological society. For some, it also serves as a platform for further study and diverse scientific careers, inspiring the next generation of innovators, engineers, and researchers.
