STEM
At St Andrew’s our STEM Mission is:
"To develop creative, entrepreneurial, problem-based transdisciplinary learning opportunities, whereby students address real-world problems & questions, work collaboratively and produce meaningful conclusions."
Within our interactive, hands-on STEM curriculum we build up practical skills, subject knowledge & understanding and provide exposure to a range of STEM careers spanning the globe. Each academic year follows the same pattern. The students’ skills and knowledge are built up each year to enable them to tackle more difficult tasks and challenges throughout KS3.
The skills and knowledge built up during their STEM lessons will help them to understand the importance of this subject for their future career prospects, supporting them in becoming adaptable and wise adults. It also puts into context the importance the skills being taught in Science, DT, ICT and Maths play in these careers as well.
