Science

Our science curriculum is designed to provide children with the ability to think independently and raise questions about working scientifically and the knowledge and skills that it brings. Our children will gain a confidence and competence in the full range of practical skills, taking the initiative in, for example, planning and carrying out scientific investigations. In turn showcasing their passion understanding and explaining the natural world. When investigating, their thinking is developed by a number of big organising ideas and generalisations known as

concepts. These concepts form a unique framework of enquiry and shape the questions that Scientists investigate. There are three disciplines in Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics and alongside these five second order concepts have been identified.
