Subject Leaders - Mrs Jefferies

Our Aims

Through our science curriculum, we aim to:

• Develop curiosity and enthusiasm about the world around us, encouraging children to ask questions and explore how things work.

• Build scientific knowledge and understanding of the world, including living things, materials, forces, Earth and space, and seasonal change.

• Develop scientific enquiry skills, enabling children to plan investigations, make observations, carry out practical experiments and draw conclusions.

• Encourage children to think critically, use evidence, identify patterns and explain their ideas using scientific vocabulary.

• Promote practical learning, giving children regular opportunities to investigate, experiment, observe and make discoveries for themselves.

• Develop confidence in asking and answering questions, encouraging children to be thoughtful, independent and resilient learners.

• Help children understand the importance of science in everyday life and recognise how scientific knowledge contributes to our understanding of the world.

• Inspire future scientists, nurturing a sense of wonder and encouraging children to see science as an exciting and meaningful part of their lives.
