Physics Snapshot - The Life Cycle of a Star

How do we practice exam Qs?


This clip showcases how we develop students' exam skills through a carefully structured teaching approach. New knowledge and concepts are introduced alongside key scientific vocabulary, exam marking points, and strategies for avoiding common misconceptions and mistakes. By breaking questions into manageable steps and gradually increasing the level of challenge, we scaffold learning effectively, helping students build confidence, deepen understanding, and master exam technique.

 

Chemistry Snapshot - Rates of Reaction

Engaging learners and developing skills


In this clip, we showcase the variety of approaches we use to deepen understanding and maintain engagement throughout a lesson. Learning is driven by thought-provoking hook questions that encourage students to think critically and make connections between concepts. We incorporate opportunities to practise essential mathematical skills, explore real-world applications of chemistry, and develop the practical knowledge required for exam success. Along the way, students are challenged to apply their understanding in different contexts, helping to build confidence, scientific reasoning, and examination readiness.

How do we support revision?


In this clip, we demonstrate how we combine effective content delivery with evidence-based revision strategies. As new knowledge is introduced, we model how students can transform their learning into high-quality revision resources that support regular retrieval practice. By guiding students through the process of selecting key information, organising ideas, and creating useful study materials, we help them take ownership of their revision while strengthening long-term retention and understanding.

~ Lorna ~

Chemistry Teacher

Lorna studied Chemistry (MChem) at the University of Sheffield before completing her PGCE at the University of Cambridge. She has been teaching Science for over twenty years across both the state and independent sectors and has led a Science department as Head of Science. She also holds a Master’s in Education and has worked internationally in Kazakhstan, helping to develop teacher‑training programmes. This breadth of experience has shaped her clear, student‑centred approach to teaching. Outside the classroom, Lorna enjoys tending her allotment, exploring in her camper van, and open‑water swimming. She’s creative and always trying out new crafts, and she loves heading to festivals with friends — especially those with great music, good food, and a great atmosphere.

~ Sinéad ~

Biology Teacher

Sinéad studied Biochemistry and Microbiology (BSc) at the University of Leeds and started teaching Science way back in 2003. Since then she has embraced education in all its forms, working in Primary, Secondary, Special Education, Further Education and for an Alternative Provider! This breadth of experience demonstrates her desire to support learning across a wide range of needs, shaping her into both a versatile educator and a deeply compassionate individual. In her spare time Sinéad can generally be found indulging her gorgeous cavapoo Nyx, in between reading, colouring and playing board games. Sinéad’s hair changes colour almost as often as the weather(!) and her favourite film series is The Lord of the Rings.

~ Roisin ~

Physics Teacher

Roisin is an experienced secondary science teacher with a PGCE from the University of Cambridge and degrees from the University of Leeds (BSc & MSc). For 20 years, she has taught ages 11–18 with a clear, engaging style and a calm, relationship centred approach. A parent of four, she understands the challenges of managing life’s logistics whilst supporting children through education, and passionately believes in delivering a high quality learning experience to all. In her spare time Roisin is a Guide Leader, enjoys being in the garden (although not necessarily gardening!), eating out and being active. She has completed several half marathons and can't resist a cheeky ice cream.
