Why Science?
To have a practical and enjoyable curriculum, where we aim to inspire and excite our children and foster a thirst for knowledge.
Provide opportunities for children to ask their own questions, experiment and plan their own investigations, giving them the support they need to be able to develop scientific skills.
Develop scientific literacy and critical thinking skills by designing and carrying out their own investigations and provide frequent, high-quality, real-life experiences related to science.
Nurture their curiosity by asking ‘big’ questions, and this will develop a wonderment and a sense of excitement about science.
Make meaningful links between classroom learning and the real world in order to deepen their understanding of Science.
To promote the strong connections that Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) have with each other and involve experts, as often as possible, within these fields to share their experiences and knowledge in school.
Provide well maintained, organised and up to date resources, including IT which will support learning.
To utilise their English and Mathematical skills and knowledge to enable them to excel in Science.
In addition, the teaching of science will promote and develop transferable skills such as observation, communication and teamwork and allow mathematical skills to be applied.
To cover all the statutory requirements as laid out in the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum.
We achieved a Space Education Quality Mark in 2022
