Science

Our Science curriculum aims to develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena and an understanding of how the scientific community contributes to the past, present and future.

Our curriculum aims for pupils to develop a complex knowledge of biology, chemistry and physics, but also adopt a broad range of skills in working scientifically and beyond.

Our curriculum is designed to be inclusive and meaningful so all pupils experience the joy of science and make associations between their science learning and their lives outside the classroom. Studying science allows pupils to appreciate how new knowledge and skills can be fundamental to solving arising global challenges.

Our pupils are encouraged to be critical thinking and empower pupils to question the 'hows' and 'whys' of the world around them. We aim to encourage:

• A strong focus on developing knowledge alongside scientific skills across biology, chemistry and physics.
• Curiosity and excitement about familiar and unknown observations.
• Challenging misconceptions and demystifying truths.
• Continuous progression by building on practical and investigative skills across all units.
• Critical thinking, with the ability to ask perceptive questions and explain and analyse evidence.
• Development of scientific literacy using wide-ranging, specialist vocabulary.
