Intent

It is our intent to give all children a strong understanding of the world around them whilst equipping them with the skills and knowledge to help them think scientifically. We encourage children to be inquisitive and we strive to foster a healthy curiosity about our universe, whilst ensuring children gain an understanding of scientific processes. We strive to ensure that children are equipped with an understanding of the use and implications of Science, today and for the future. Children will be exposed to a number of scientists and their research and be able to appreciate advances that have been made in science throughout history.

We aim to equip pupils with the skills to work scientifically, asking and answering their own questions through using a range of different enquiry types. Children will be scientifically literate and have a strong understanding of scientific vocabulary in the curriculum. From Nursery to Year 6 our pupils will build up knowledge, through revisiting key areas and building upon previous learning – embedding procedural knowledge into the long-term memory.

Children will be given opportunities to engage in extra-curricular science activities such as exploring our outdoor environment, visiting a science event/ museum and presenting science investigations to their peers. Through these things and the national curriculum we endeavour to distil a lifelong love for science within our pupils through both the curriculum and extra-curricular activities – raising science capital in our school community.
