SCIENCE
OUR VISION
There has never been a better time to study Science. The only people able to save the world from Covid-19 are scientific researchers. Imagine being at the forefront of research to find a new vaccine or treatment – by studying science, that could be you. There will be many more new viruses in future which will endanger human life on this planet. You could be the scientist to find the cure.
Science is the most exhilarating, exciting and life changing subject. Science is at the centre of everything that you see smell touch and taste. Science promotes and instils vital life skills such as observing, planning, interpreting, reporting and self-reliance .These are essential skills for any career path. Such skills will enable the future generation to overcome many challenges and build better world for all mankind.
In this subject you start your journey into better understanding of our world and how to make it a better place for the next generation. Be a superhero. Be a scientist.

Enrichment
We offer a whole host of enrichment and intervention activities to support learning at Hatch End High School. These include activities such as Yearly trips to CERN in Switzerland by the physics department for Physics A level students; Cosmetic club run by sixth formers and supervised by member of staff. During the club time Key Stage 4 students make their own make up and toiletries. Club is run after school from 3.15 to 4.00 pm; Science Club for Year 7 once a week. Students are working towards certification for a CREST Award in Science, which is Britain's largest national award scheme for project work in the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). Some students have designed batteries made from fruit and vegetables making a working gadget (of their choosing), where others are carrying out research into comparing ‘How indigestion tablets work’ by comparing different brands against natural remedies.
