Intent:

The Science curriculum will engage and enthuse students in the wonders of their world and allow them to fulfil their natural curiosity through investigative experiences. Progressive learning opportunities will develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.

Planning and delivery will develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science. Through different types of enquiries, the curriculum will help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them.

We will allow students to be equipped with the scientific skills required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future. We understand that it is important for lessons to have a skills-based focus, and that knowledge should be gained through this.

Students will gain an understanding of how science works to ensure they are prepared to effectively evaluate any information given to them in the future. The science curriculum will challenge students to question “Why?”
