We deliver a Science curriculum that is knowledge-rich, and centred around the development of a strong understanding of the scientific process.
Pupils are encouraged to question the world around them, and to closely study the phenomena that they are introduced to throughout Key Stages 1 and 2. By the end of Year 6, pupils will have developed independence in planning, carrying out, assessing and evaluating investigations, and will be adept at handling and manipulating variables.
A large part of what we teach in Science is around sustainability – helping our children understand how better to look after our planet. For example, Year 4 explored what green jobs possible are and researched different types of green careers, discussing how these jobs help to care for the planet and protect the environment.
They then had a go at imagining what it would be like to have a green job. For example, those who chose to be chefs created a vegan menu, while architects designed sustainable buildings with solar panels and other eco-friendly features.
