East London Science School, a dynamic new secondary school in Bromley-by-Bow. We are about to embark on our fifth year as we approach our first set of GCSE grades in August 2018. This year is about turning dreams into reality. However, even now we still hold to the ideals that we started with. To give every child the best possible education we can offer.
We are an exciting, friendly, and ambitious school for both our pupils and parents. We have offered 125 places to pupils starting in September 2017 with a waiting list for places. We work very closely on our admissions with Newham. However, we are not restricted to taking pupils from Newham. Our pupils come to us from across East London including Tower Hamlets.
What attracts pupils to the East London Science School is a commitment to deliver a high-quality academic education to all pupils regardless of background or ability. All pupils are given the same demanding curriculum from Year 7 onwards. The focus on science means all pupils receive physics, chemistry, and biology lessons from specialist teachers. Whether it's mathematics, English, languages, the arts, or humanities, pupils receive the same rigorous subject specialist education. We aim to give all our pupils a solid foundation of knowledge which they can draw upon for the rest of their lives.
Over the past three years, we have seen our pupils put on two Shakespeare productions, take part in a growing number of sports fixtures and inter-school debating competitions. This alongside their impressive academic performance is already proof enough that they are well on their way to success. Our unique enrichment program has taken pupils on well over 500 trips in the last academic year. With visits to venues as diverse as the Greenwich Observatory and Kings College computer science laboratory. During our Enrichment Fortnight pupils visited the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford. We visited places as far afield as IWM Duxford and Box Hill in Surrey.
Our pupils enjoyed residential trips to China, Belgium, New York, and Devon with more planned for next year. We want to open the eyes of every pupil to a whole world of possibilities. We want our pupils’ ambitions to know no limits. We take every opportunity to allow our pupils to hear from leading figures in science and participate in exciting events. Whether it's attending the Royal Society Summer Exhibition or attending New Scientist Live, we want our pupils to find out what it’s like to be involved in science and engineering beyond education.
We live in one of the greatest cities in the world. We make sure our pupils have the opportunity to experience everything that London has to offer and more besides. Our enrichment curriculum gives lower school pupils an afternoon out in London every week. Whether they are learning portrait sketching in the Wallace Collection or visiting the Great Equatorial Telescope at Greenwich, it is this first-hand access to such prized venues that sets their imaginations alight.
All our girls and boys will receive an excellent academic education which will rival the best on offer in public schools. We aim to give our pupils the confidence to strive for success in everything they do. We will give our pupils a unique space in which their imaginations are set free and given the chance to flourish.
All children deserve the best education possible. Education is about more than achieving good grades. We aim to show pupils that ideas have the power to shape the world we live in. We want to instill a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
Good teaching is the best way to open a child’s mind. We expect all our teachers to engage our pupils by intellectually challenging them and bringing knowledge of everything from the sciences, arts, and languages to life.
Pupils should be encouraged to nurture their talents and develop new skills. We will foster our pupils’ talents in the arts, sports, and debate to create a space for all our pupils to thrive. Our technical education will give pupils the knowledge and skills necessary for careers in high-tech industries.
