Science inspires our children to be curious about the world around them, ask questions and discover how things work. Our Science curriculum aims to develop enthusiastic, knowledgeable and confident young scientists who enjoy exploring, investigating and making sense of the world through first-hand experiences.

From observing the natural world in the Early Years to exploring increasingly complex scientific concepts throughout Key Stages 1 and 2, learning is carefully sequenced to build scientific knowledge, vocabulary and enquiry skills. Through practical investigations, experiments and purposeful discussion, children develop the confidence to question, predict, observe, test and explain their findings.

Teachers use clear explanations, modelling and hands-on experiences, adapting activities and resources to ensure every child can participate, be challenged and achieve. Learning is further enriched through additional opportunities in our MPU courses, educational visits to the Space Centre and visits from experts and other visitors who bring scientific learning to life. These memorable experiences spark curiosity, deepen understanding and help children recognise the importance of science in everyday life.
