Aims
Science has a unique power to excite our curiosity and to inspire passion about the natural world. We teach our children to ask questions, formulate hypotheses and conduct experiments as they explore the world around them. Our science lessons foster the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to investigate and understand natural phenomena. We have designed our science curriculum to:
- Give children the confidence to explain natural phenomena and to practise scientific methods, always considering how we can prove our knowledge, and justify our theories.
- Ignite wonder and encourage independent enquiry, so that every child believes science is for them.
- Build an appreciation that science is an ongoing project that benefits all humanity. We teach the children about a diverse selection of scientists from the past and we explore how their ideas and their work changed people’s understanding of the world.
