The intent of our Science curriculum is to deliver a curriculum that will maximise the outcomes for every child so that they know more, remember more and understand more. Science is important in every aspect of daily life and as one of the core subjects taught in Primary Schools we seek to build a Science curriculum which develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge.  The Scientific area of learning is concerned with increasing pupils’ knowledge and understanding of our world, and with developing skills associated with Science, encouraging inquiry based learners.  We want them to develop an enthusiasm and enjoyment of scientific learning and discovery.

The experience of pupils using Scientific methods of investigation should develop the natural curiosity of the child, encourage respect for living organisms and the physical environment and provide opportunities to developing children’s questioning. The National Curriculum will provide a structure and skill development for the science curriculum taught throughout the school, which is linked into our knowledge based curriculum learning.  We endeavour to ensure that the Science curriculum we provide, will give children the confidence and motivation to continue to further develop their skills to understand the uses and implications of Science, today and for the future.
