Isaac Science Bronze Award

Hedingham School Celebrates Isaac Science Bronze Award

Hedingham School is proud to announce that it has been awarded Isaac Science Embedded School status at Bronze level, recognising the excellent work of the Science Department in embedding high-quality science learning into the curriculum.

Isaac Science is a nationally respected programme funded by the University of Cambridge and supported by the Ogden Trust. It provides free access to challenging, research-informed science and mathematics resources for students, regardless of background or location. Regular use of Isaac Science problem-solving questions helps students develop the analytical skills, confidence and fluency required for success at GCSE, A level and beyond, including preparation for university study.
The Embedded School Awards are granted to schools where teachers have consistently set Isaac Science defined thresholds to achieve Bronze, Silver or Gold status, making this award a significant achievement.

Commenting on the award, Dr Finn the Head of Science said:
“We are extremely pleased to have achieved this level of award from Isaac Physics, showcasing our commitment to using external resources to stretch and challenge our A-Level students, preparing them for the rigours of science at degree level. We have found that students who regularly use Isaac Science have historically achieved higher grades than their peers who have not, and embedding Isaac Science tasks within our A-Level curriculum is helping all students achieve their potential.”

As a Bronze Embedded School, Hedingham School is now able to display the official Isaac Science Bronze logo on school communications, stationery and the school website.

Isaac Science Embedded Schools are encouraged to:
Embed Isaac Science resources within their science schemes of work
Engage with Isaac Science professional development opportunities for teachers
Participate in student and teacher events
Support other schools through collaboration, training and shared practice
Teachers who use Isaac Science regularly at an advanced level may also be invited to become Isaac Ambassadors, helping to support and mentor colleagues both within and beyond the school.
We would like to congratulate our Science Department on this excellent achievement and thank them for their continued commitment to high-quality teaching and learning that benefits all our students.
