Welcome to the Science Department website at
Nonsuch High School for Girls.

Following our designation as a Science Specialist School in September 2003 and an extensive building project, the Science Department now boasts 11 state-of-the-art teaching laboratories and two new preparation rooms.  Our new suite also benefits from wireless networking and the majority of laboratories are now equipped with interactive whiteboards.  The Science Department is also proud to have the exclusive use of our own ecology areas consisting of a woodland, meadow and pond.  Our highly qualified and experienced team of sixteen full-time and three part-time teachers are supported by four specialist technicians.

At KS3 (years 7-9) students follow the Heinneman scheme, at KS4 (years 10 & 11) students can either study the AQA Dual Award course leading to two GCSE qualifications or single awards in each of the three sciences.  The Science curriculum is presently undergoing a series of changes and Nonsuch is at the forefront of the preparations for the new GCSE courses that will begin in September 2006.  At AS and A level we offer five subjects; Biology, Human Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and Physics.  Many of our girls go on to read Science based courses (including Medicine and Engineering) at University.
