Science pupils going for gold

The first groups of pupils have started to receive their Science badges. These have been awarded for successfully completing twenty Seneca assignments with an average score of at least 70%.  

Science badges are linked to Seneca completion and are given through a range of tiers.  The yellow badge is the first tier of the department's award programme and is presented to those, across all year groups, who have met the twenty assignment target.  

Seneca is an highly engaging online homework and revision platform based on exam board specifications, it uses smart algorithms that help students to remember topics better.

Assistant Head of Science, Mrs Potter said, "Badges are awarded for our basic homework expectation but we are keen to offer acknowledgement to the vast majority of students who complete their homework every week without issue."

Meeting each completed assignments target will allow the badge to be exchanged for the next tier, up to the prestigious gold badge. 

Head of Science, Mr Bedford added, "These pupils' Science badges are a worthy addition to what in some cases is already a wide collection!"

Pupils are reminded that Seneca club is runs every Wednesday lunch time in the Nucleus where pupils can use the science laptops to complete their homework, ask for help or resolve any password issues.

This group of Year 7 pupils were amongst those gaining their badge this week:  Sophia L, Morsal M, Imogen K, Akemi K, Larna Jayne W, Jacob S, Oliver C, Wez A, Theo L, Ada McM, Holly McC, Dexter H, Marshall T, Joel W, Archie Q.
