All children are naturally curious, which makes science an ideal subject for them to learn. A high quality science curriculum allows our children to explore their world and discover new things. Science is an active subject, where children work practically and scientifically to perform investigations. Science is an important part of the curriculum as it gives children knowledge and understanding, science also develops children’s skills of enquiry and investigation.

Science encourages our children to reflect on the wonder of the natural world created by God. It develops the children’s awareness of the ways science and technology can affect our environment. Science fosters positive attitudes such as perseverance, confidence, respect for living things, tolerance and curiosity.

We believe science encompasses the acquisition of knowledge, concepts, skills and positive attitudes.

Throughout our science curriculum, the children acquire and develop the key knowledge that has been identified within each unit and across each year group. Our approach to science takes account of  our school’s own context, ensuring access to people with specialist expertise and places of scientific interest. As well as learning outside the classroom and making use of our local area e.g. Our local wildlife reserve on Chat Moss.

Our Science subject leader is Miss Wilson.
