Intent
The intention of our Science curriculum is to develop the knowledge and skills required to provide the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Our curriculum design promotes children’s natural curiosity about scientific concepts which reflects the skills that children might and will need in life and should represent a balance of careers that are traditional and also careers that are related to a rapidly changing scientific world and have yet to be invented. As children progress through school, they will become more proficient in independent scientific enquiry.
