Intent

Science helps us to answer our biggest questions and to meet our most basic needs: from explaining the deepest mysteries of the universe to the structure of elementary particles that form atoms. The findings of science have fundamentally shaped every aspect of our world. Science drives innovation, creating new knowledge to help us solve current and future problems. All young people are entitled to a high-quality Science education, to the curiosity it engenders and the understanding and opportunity it brings.

Our science curriculum explores the wonders of nature and the mysteries of the universe. It aspires to provide our children with a love and enthusiasm for the world around us whilst empowering them to develop the skills necessary to answer big questions and draw logical conclusions.

We have sequenced our curriculum so that our pupils are able to learn and revisit essential knowledge as well as to explore bigger ideas which will take their learning beyond the national curriculum and provide them with a wider knowledge base upon which to build their future studies, rich with opportunity.
