Science

We are proud to announce that we have achieved The Primary Science Quality Mark!

 

We follow the National Curriculum for science. Science stimulates and excites pupils' curiosity about events and things in the world around them. It also satisfies this curiosity with knowledge. Because science links direct practical experience with ideas, it can engage learners at many levels. Teaching and learning in science reflects our belief that children have a natural sense of awe and wonder in the world around them. We aim to provide the children with a science knowledge base, and encourage them to ask questions, make predictions and then to test these in order to discover more about the world around them. We hope also to foster responsible attitudes towards the environment and all living things. In science we cover such areas as working scientifically, plants, animals (including humans) and habitats, rocks, light, sound, forces, magnetism and electricity, evolution and inheritance, earth and space, which are all set out in the new National Curriculum.
