Science gives our children the opportunity to learn and develop an understanding and respect of the world they live in so that they are more mindful and responsible for their actions in adult life.

The science curriculum fosters our children’s ability to confidently pose questions: why, how, when, what or if to deepen their scientific knowledge and passion for the subject. It gives our children opportunities to investigate, explore and be inspired by awe and wonder moments and to undertake practical work in a variety of contexts, whilst developing resilience and perseverance.

Planning and carrying out scientific investigations, both independently and in group situations, gives our children opportunities to use their initiative, share ideas and accept the views of others and that they may FAIL along the way.
