Science

Science is taught using a topic-based approach delivered on a regular basis. We ensure that pupils are provided with a balance of Physics, Biology and Chemistry in order to cover the aspects of the National Curriculum and become competent scientists. Teachers plan and deliver lessons using a variety of teaching styles, allowing pupils to work collaboratively as well as harness their individual investigative skills.

In our delivery of a broad and balanced Science curriculum, we aim to:

• develop pupils’ skills in working scientifically

• deliver engaging and motivating activities to promote understanding

• provide opportunity for pupils to develop their scientific enquiry through a ‘hands on’ learning approach

• ensure that pupils have opportunity to complete working scientifically methods such as; fair testing, researching, sorting and classifying, observing over time, and pattern seeking

• strengthen cross-curricular links and wider scientific skills
