We believe the teaching of the Sciences is an essential life enhancing duty for our educators across the Oasis trust. It is an obligation that we have to get right to ensure all our students understand the multi-faceted importance science plays in our lives. How a grasp of the subject helps us think more analytically, how it enhances our problem solving and how it impacts our day to day in multiple ways. From DNA to AI and from understanding the natural world to space travel. 

To achieve our ambition of bringing science to life for all our students we need an inspirer of minds and a transferer of knowledge who understands the difference between “theory," "hypothesis" and "model". An educator with a real knack of how to get bright young minds to want to understand that difference. We need a science devotee with a belief that everyone has the right to learn and to progress and knows how to structure a curriculum to deliver that ambition. 

The Regional Subject Lead for Science’s responsibility for delivering this vision and ambition relies on the effective implementation of our science strategy across all of our secondary academies
