Introduction Welcome to Walmer Science College. Walmer Science College caters for students of all abilities. At one end of the academic continuum we seek to educate able young people to move at a fast pace to a high level of achievement and at the other end we apply the special skills and resources we have acquired to assist those with learning or social difficulties. Wherever on this continuum a student happens to be, we endeavour to stimulate the individual to maximum academic and social development. Walmer Science College is an 11-19 school. At the age of 16, it is expected that most students will carry on with their education as members of the Sixth Form. All students follow courses that meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. By working in partnership with other local schools and further education colleges, students aged 14-19 will be able to study a wide range of courses, both academic and vocational. As a Science College, there will be an additional focus on science, mathematics and information technology. At Walmer Science College we believe in: honesty, respect and care for each other. Learning is organised in an emotionally relaxed, but stimulating atmosphere, and we expect students to be self-disciplined and keen to do well. We value our students as people in their own right, taking care to ensure that all needs are recognised and that student welfare and care is paramount. Young people benefit most if there is a partnership between school, parent and student. We welcome parental involvement in all aspects of college life. Walmer Science College is a vibrant community in which students and staff live, learn and achieve great things together. I hope you enjoy looking at our website and find it informative and interesting. Simon Heaton Headteacher |
