Science Statement of Intent:

 

"To provide our children with a strong understanding of the world around them whilst acquiring specific skills and knowledge to help them to think scientifically, to gain an understanding of scientific processes and also an understanding of the uses and implications of Science, today and for the future."

Our Science Curriculum

 

Through our science curriculum we offer a range of opportunities to explore and understand the world around us, gaining a secure knowledge of scientific concepts. Our curriculum is designed to engage all pupils and prepare them for future learning, encourage curiosity and questioning attitudes.

 

In science, we take pride in our pupils developing independence, confidence and resilience. We focus on building up extended specialist vocabulary, enabling pupils to articulate scientific concepts. We ensure pupils build an awareness of potential risks when investigating. We have designed a curriculum that asks pupils to be brave in their thinking, predicting, investigating and thus we nurture future scientists.

Science Curriculum Principles.

Science Content Map

  • Science curriculum subject map 24-25.pdf

We do this through:

 

  • Teaching scientific ways of thinking.

  • Actively involving students in their own learning.

  • Helping students to develop a conceptual framework as well as to develop problem solving skills.

  • Promoting student discussion and group activities.

  • Helping students experience science in varied, interesting and enjoyable ways.

 

The benefit of this is:

 

  • It allows an inclusive approach, where all children work at their own level.

  • That teachers will work from carefully structured Schemes of Learning which inform them of prior and future learning.

  • That children will be able to embed their knowledge and develop critical thinking skills, as they work through each flow from representation to rich tasks.

  • During the teaching there are built-in opportunities for continual knowledge and vocabulary assessment, ensuring misconceptions are addressed immediately.

  • Experiential learning is also built into each unit, enabling staff to assess scientific skills.
