Science

The intent of our primary school science curriculum is to ignite curiosity and excitement about the natural world, fostering a sense of wonder and encouraging pupils to explore, question, and understand the world around them. We aim to provide a solid foundation of scientific knowledge and skills, preparing children to think critically, solve problems, and apply scientific principles to everyday life.

We are committed to nurturing a love for science and encouraging children to see themselves as scientists. By exploring topics such as the human body, ecosystems, materials, forces, and space, pupils gain an understanding of how science impacts both the environment and modern life. Our curriculum also emphasises the importance of sustainability and environmental awareness, helping children understand their role in protecting the planet for future generations.

Through developing scientific vocabulary, critical thinking, and collaborative skills, we aim to equip pupils with the confidence to ask meaningful questions, evaluate evidence, and engage in thoughtful discussions about scientific issues. By the end of primary school, pupils will have developed a strong foundation in science, a passion for learning, and the skills to continue exploring the world through a scientific lens.

Key Aims:

• Build a strong foundation in the core areas of biology, chemistry, and physics.
• Opportunities for inquiry-based learning through hands-on experiments and investigations.
• Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to evaluate scientific evidence.
• Foster an understanding of the role of science in everyday life and its impact on the environment.
• Encourage curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong interest in science and discovery.
