Course details

Our aim is to provide an excellent science education for all our students. Developing students that can process, understanding and questions the scientific ideas that are both part of the curriculum and those they are exposed to in daily life.
 
Our curriculum is designed to provide children with a high level of core scientific knowledge and the ability to apply this across familiar and unfamiliar situations. We aim to deliver a high quality of education and engage students who want to continue with science into further education and beyond. We strive to ensure that students can make informed decisions with scientific information presented to them and understand how Science impacts on their daily lives including their health and wellbeing.
 
The curriculum is designed to promote mastery of scientific ideas, with key concepts being regularly revisited and extended. This enables students to link ideas across the topics and between the scientific disciplines. Throughout the curriculum key skills in working scientifically, numeracy and literacy are embedded.
 
Co-curricular clubs and activities including Science Club, STEM Club, and external trips allow students to develop skills beyond the curriculum and promote the love and intrigue of Science.
