Our science curriculum is designed to develop pupils’ understanding of the natural world through a progressive journey of enquiry, investigation, and discovery. From exploring seasonal changes and materials in KS1 to understanding forces, electricity, and evolution in KS2, pupils build a secure foundation of scientific knowledge and skills. The curriculum promotes aspiration and pride in learning, encouraging pupils to ask questions, think critically, and explore real-world phenomena. We are committed to equality and equity, ensuring that all pupils—including those with SEND and EAL—can access and succeed in science through inclusive teaching and adapted resources.
Science is taught through a thematic and enquiry-led approach that builds on prior learning and connects concepts across year groups. Pupils engage in hands-on investigations, such as exploring plant growth in Year 3 or testing electrical circuits in Year 4, and apply working scientifically skills including observation, prediction, and data analysis. Knowledge and skills are carefully sequenced—for example, pupils learn about materials and their properties in KS1 before exploring changes of state and reversible/irreversible changes in KS2. Lessons are scaffolded to support all learners, with visual aids, structured talk, and adapted tasks ensuring full participation and success for every child.
By the end of Key Stage 2, pupils demonstrate a secure understanding of scientific concepts and processes. They can plan and carry out investigations, record and interpret data, and explain their findings using appropriate terminology. Pupils show resilience in problem-solving, integrity in evaluating evidence, and pride in their discoveries. They leave primary school equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values to continue their scientific journey with confidence and curiosity, ready to contribute to a world shaped by science.
