Science

Purpose of Study

Our high-quality science education promotes intrigue and knowledge through our engaging biology, chemistry and physics curriculum. Our science curriculum is designed to ensure pupils build upon prior learning, develop their knowledge of concepts, methods and processes in science and make connections in their understanding of science in the wider world. Through the study of science children will develop both a love of learning and a sense of curiosity, helping them gain the skills they need to understand how science can inform what is happening and why, enabling them to predict causes and affect through analysis of investigative enquiry.

‘The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.’ – Albert Einstein
