Science
Our science curriculum is designed to ensure that all pupils:
• Develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding across the disciplines of biology, chemistry, and physics.
• Understand the nature, processes, and methods of science through a variety of scientific enquiries, enabling them to answer questions about the world around them.
• Acquire the scientific knowledge needed to appreciate the uses and implications of science in today’s society and for the future, including the need to ensure sustainability in the use of materials and natural resources.
We follow the Snap Science scheme to deliver a curriculum that inspires curiosity and deep understanding.
The curriculum follows a clear sequence of knowledge and concepts, ensuring pupils build secure understanding at each stage before progressing. This approach prevents misconceptions and supports smooth transitions between year groups.
Pupils are encouraged to:
• Use accurate technical terminology and develop an extended scientific vocabulary.
• Apply mathematical skills to scientific contexts, including data collection, presentation, and analysis.
• Engage with science in meaningful contexts to foster motivation and curiosity.
