How do we help your child achieve their potential?

Science is a Core subject within the National Curriculum and at Crosby High we aim to teach science in an engaging, innovative and exciting way using thematic approaches where possible and recognising that practical hands-on experiences and investigations should form the core of scientific discovery and learning for our pupils.
