King Richard III College is an international school in Mallorca (Majorca), accredited by the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS). Education in Science is offered in both the Primary and Secondary school. Basic scientific information is taught solely in English, following the British Curriculum in Spain, to students from Year One in Primary until Year Six and then afterwards in Secondary from Year 7 up until Year 9. We teach Science at Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) which encompasses all three Sciences – Chemistry, Physics and Biology – until the students enter Year 10 to continue separate Sciences at Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11). Here the Sciences are divided into individual subjects – Chemistry IGCSE, Physics IGCSE and Biology IGCSE.

In the early stages of Science education, we aim to inspire our students to become enthusiastic about the scientific world around them. Chemistry provides the fundamental building blocks of life; without Chemistry we would not have many of the everyday items that we take for granted. Biology arouses the student’s awareness of the flora and fauna that we have here in Mallorca as well as educating them about the human body, diet and nutrition and ensuring an interesting start to the more in-depth subjects at Key Stage 4. The study of Physics at Key Stage 3 gives an insight into many areas such as Electricity and Magnetism or Pressures and Forces, instilling the desire to continue the subject at International GCSE (IGCSE).

The teaching of Science at King Richard III College in Mallorca (Majorca) is based on the concept of visual aids wherever possible. We make every effort to make Science interesting and varied by showing exciting demonstrations, conducting full class experiments, organising scientific trips and encouraging a thoroughly hands-on approach.

Our British trained teachers are united in the belief that Science has to be brought to life. It is not possible to study this subject from books alone. Experimenting, seeing, hearing, touching; these are all of the attributes that make Science the fascinating subject that it is.  At King Richard III College our aim is to make Science the essence of your educational experience. We look forward to teaching you.
