Science

At our school, Science inspires curiosity, investigation and a deep sense of wonder about the world. Through practical, engaging lessons, we support every child to achieve as confident young scientists, belong to a collaborative learning community, and thrive as creative, critical thinkers.

⭐ Achieve

Our Science curriculum enables children to develop strong scientific knowledge and skills so they can reach their full potential. We ensure children:

• Learn key concepts across biology, chemistry and physics

• Conduct hands-on investigations and develop enquiry skills

• Ask questions, make predictions and draw conclusions

• Use scientific vocabulary with increasing accuracy

• Take pride in their discoveries and celebrate progress

We nurture confident, capable learners who enjoy exploring how the world works.

🤝 Belong

Science at our school fosters collaboration, communication and inclusion. Children:

• Work together in pairs and groups to explore ideas

• Share equipment, responsibilities and findings

• Respect each other’s contributions and viewpoints

• Participate in whole-school science events, fairs and theme days

• See themselves as part of a community of curious learners

Every child feels valued, supported and empowered to take part in scientific enquiry.

🌱 Thrive

Science plays a key role in helping children thrive academically, socially and emotionally. We help pupils:

• Develop resilience through trial, error and discovery

• Strengthen reasoning, creativity and problem-solving

• Build confidence as they communicate their ideas

• Recognise the relevance of science in everyday life

• Develop enthusiasm for future learning and STEM opportunities

We aim to spark lifelong curiosity and encourage children to explore the world with confidence.

🧬A Broad, Inspiring and Enquiry-Led Curriculum

Our Science provision includes:

• Practical investigations and real-life problem solving

• Outdoor learning and environmental studies

• Cross-curricular links that make learning meaningful

• Opportunities to meet scientists, explore careers and engage in STEM activities

• Whole-school celebrations such as Science Week

Our goal is to ignite a love of learning through discovery, exploration and questioning.

Enrichment Opportunities

The children in KS2 take part annually in a Forensic Science day during British Science Week. They explore how to brush for fingerprints; how to use chromatograph;, why DNA at the scene of a crime is useful and how to analyse a boot print as well as exploring a range of other crime related science investigations.
