Modern Labs The science department is proud to have a dedicated team of scientists to be able to deliver the science curriculum to all students regardless of age, need and ability. The department also benefits from seven well- equipped, purpose-built modern laboratories that were commissioned just over a year ago.

Park entered the national poster competition and will be submitting some absolutely fabulous work from our students.

Science Revision Club As part of the continuing support to student progress, the science department runs a revision club, taking place every Friday night in our library after school and is open to all students from Year 9, 10 and 11. This is being staffed by subject specialists in biology, chemistry and physics.

GCSE Mock Exams This year, Regents Park ran mock examinations for all GCSE students in Year 9, 10 and 11. It was a first-time experience for many in Year 9 and 10, who have suffered from the repeated lockdowns and difficult events of the last 2 years. Regents Park and the science department took great pride in the student’s response and achievements and would like to wish the very best success to our Year 10 and Year 11 students in their forthcoming GCSE examinations.
