Intent
The intention of our Science curriculum is to equip children with the age appropriate knowledge and ability to be able to describe the material world. Our adaptive curriculum promotes children’s natural curiosity about scientific concepts through a wide range of pupil experience and observations, which is tailored to our children. We provide children with the understanding that Science is at the forefront of change through laying the foundations for understanding the world.
As children progress through school, our children are able to know more, and remember more, about the products and practices of Science by applying their growing knowledge to work scientifically through our knowledge-enabled approach.
