Science
Our curriculum vision is reflected in science through the key concepts of "Explore" and "Enquire"
Explore
Exploration refers to the employing of the senses to the action, or process of closely observing or monitoring something or someone. This is linked with our school vision of Spirituality (thinking deeply) and Environment (appreciation).
Enquire
Enquiry refers to the quest to find the answer to a question, using a scientific method. This is linked to our school vision of Community contributing) and Growth (developing understanding and questioning).
Our curriculum statement details Intent, Implementation and Impact for Science
Progression maps show the sequencing of learning which enables teachers to build on children’s prior knowledge and plan a series of lessons which will enable children to achieve the end points specified.
Using the Developing Experts scheme, our curriculum builds upon students’ prior learning and skills and encourages them to ask questions, work scientifically and engage in a range of investigations and experiments. Pupils are encouraged to think as scientists, asking questions to further their understanding and apply this to the world around them.
