        Future Scientist at Canford

        Course Summary

        Future Scientists is a two-week programme for students who want to understand how science works in practice. You’ll study biology, chemistry and physics through experiments, demonstrations and guided research, learning how to test ideas and explain your findings with clarity.

        The course gives you the chance to practise core skills such as designing investigations, collecting and interpreting data, and presenting results. Alongside this, you’ll look at new scientific developments and the ethical questions that surround them, building your ability to think critically about the role of science in society.

        Work is collaborative as well as individual. You’ll take on group challenges that require discussion, problem-solving and shared responsibility, reflecting how scientists work together in research and industry.

        Teaching is led by educators with a background in the sciences, who combine subject knowledge with practical insight. By the end of the programme you’ll have strengthened both your scientific understanding and the skills needed to explore it further at school or university.

        Summer Boarding Courses Frequently Asked Questions
        Are airport transfers provided?
        Earlscliffe fees include return transfers to/from London Heathrow and London Gatwick for flights/trains scheduled to arrive/depart between 9am-3pm on published arrival and departure days. For other locations, students are provided with the option of using SBC's Shared Transfer Service from/to London Heathrow Airport and St. Pancras International. When a student arrives, an SBC staff member wearing a bright yellow t-shirt will be waiting to greet her/him and accompany them to our Welcome Club. At Welcome Club, she/he will have the chance to meet other students arriving, have some light refreshments and relax. After a little rest, students will be accompanied by students and SBC staff to board the coach and be taken directly to the School in a private coach. The Shared Transfer Service can be used by students using the following flight times: Flight landing time on arrival day: 06:00-17:00 Flight take-off time on departure day: 8:00-18:00 If you book a flight outside of these times or to/from another UK airport, we can look at sending a staff member in a taxi to collect or drop off your child, but it will cost more than the Shared Transfer Service. Quotations are available upon request.
