Our intent is to deliver an engaging and accessible Science curriculum, which will provide all pupils with the necessary knowledge, skills, and understanding, building on previously learnt content to become scientifically literate individuals, who know more, remember more and do more. We recognise that science can be a powerful tool in developing our pupils’ problem solving, critical thinking and investigative skills.

We have adopted the White Rose Science (WRS) scheme to effectively implement a comprehensive and engaging science curriculum for all of our pupils which meets the expectations set out in the National Curriculum (2014) Programme of Study for Key Stage 1.  In EYFS, Science experiences are taught through ‘Understanding the World’ sessions which link to the topics being taught. However, children are immersed in daily scientific opportunities through play where they are exploring the environment around them with some enhancements in areas e.g. ice in the water tray to investigate changes of state.

In addition to the knowledge and skills acquired, we aim to foster a sense of responsibility among our pupils towards the environment and the planet. Through learning about sustainability, conservation, and the impact of human actions on the natural world, children will develop an appreciation and understanding of the importance of taking care of our planet.
