Curriculum Aims

Wisdom - We want our children to have specific skills and knowledge for biology, chemistry and physics and understand the methods and processes and uses of science. We want our pupils to focus on the key features of scientific enquiry including: scientific questions, observing over time, pattern seeking, identifying, classifying, conducting fair tests and researching using secondary sources.

Independence - We would like our children to be encouraged to engage meaningfully in more sophisticated discussion of experimental design and control.

Creativity - to understand the power of exploration and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena.

Kindness - We want our pupils to understand how science is vital to our world's future prosperity.
