The Science department spent the staff training day this week tweaking the GCSE required practicals, making the quality of the practical work we offer even better! #BehindTheScenes #HBKScience #PracticalScience

With the countdown to the Y11 exams well underway, our Biologists have been refreshing their knowledge of the required practicals starting with enzymes. #BreakingItDown #HBKScience #ExamSeason #ReviseAndReview

Some great pics from an event run by our Teaching Associate in Science Education, @Mr_CPettit, aimed at getting more children to think of themselves as scientists. Primary school students from Huntingdonshire attended an ‘Evening of Science’ @HBK_School.

This is what measuring biodiversity looks like in a Hinchingbrooke School! A picturesque backdrop for our BTEC Science students. This isn't just any science, this is HBK Science. #SpringScience #ItsWhatWeDo

Many thanks to all who have worked so hard during school closure. It's been wonderful to see many of you trying Science investigations at home and thank you to the Yr7&8s who have sent their Covid-19 posters - some are spectacular. Have a wonderful summer and see you in September
