Science

Our science curriculum is designed to develop curiosity, scientific thinking and a secure understanding of the world. It builds pupils’ knowledge progressively while developing essential enquiry skills, scientific vocabulary and confidence in working like a scientist.

In KS2, pupils explore key scientific concepts including plants, animals and humans, materials, light, sound, electricity, forces and Earth processes. Learning is rooted in practical enquiry, where pupils observe carefully, ask questions, carry out simple investigations and record findings. They are taught to identify patterns, make comparisons and explain results using accurate scientific language, helping them develop secure foundational knowledge.

In KS3, science is structured around the three disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Pupils study topics such as cells and body systems, ecosystems, particles and chemical reactions, energy, electricity, forces and space. They plan and carry out more complex investigations, interpret data, evaluate evidence and apply scientific models with increasing accuracy. The curriculum builds depth, precision and independence, ensuring pupils develop the knowledge and skills needed for success in later science learning.
