Science Curriculum Intent
Through the teaching and learning of Science we will provide the foundations for understanding the world and will strive to create opportunities for children to gain an understanding of how science impacts our daily lives. There will be an element of ‘Working Scientifically’ within each science lesson to enable children to develop a variety of skills to make progress and broaden their scientific view of the world around them.
Our curriculum role model is: Thomas Edison
