‘Science is part of the reality of living; it is the what, the how and the why of everything in our experience.’  

Rachel Carson

We believe that science is vital to our understanding of the world around us - everything we know about the universe is the result of scientific research and experiment.  We aim to instil in our children a sense of awe, wonder and curiosity about the world, whilst enabling them to understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of science through the disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.

In line with the National Curriculum, we ensure that our children:

• develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics
• develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them
• are equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future
