Science

We believe that pupils should have the opportunity to develop their understanding of Science through knowledge and scientific enquiry. Teaching and learning throughout selected objectives in three areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, Personal Development; Understanding of the World and Expressive Art and Design, provide children with the fundamental skills and experiences needed to develop their knowledge, understanding and analysis of the world. Through lots of talk and careful observations in engaging lessons and experiences, pupils begin to understand that there is a lot that we can learn about the world around us and talk about their observations and discoveries clearly and with confidence.

Skills taught across EYFS feed into the National curriculum. The structure of our curriculum allows for pupils in KS1 and KS2 to build on their existing knowledge from their previous key stage and develop them further. Our Science curriculum very much makes links with and feeds into other areas of the curriculum. Lessons are created to prepare pupils for their daily lives and open their eyes and aspire to the possibility of Science related careers in the future.
