As scientists, our INTENT is:
to provide an engaging science curriculum which will develop children’s love of and the discovery of the world around them.

The National Curriculum for Science aims to ensure that all pupils:

Science Long Term Plan
Science: Long Term Plan
The IMPACT is:
As a result, we have a community of enthusiastic scientists who enjoy showcasing their developing science knowledge and skills. They enjoy discussing and sharing their ideas. |
Governors, through the Governor Monitoring Plan and Subject Leader Reports, evaluate the work of the science leader in ensuring that the quality of teaching and learning across the school is at least good. They ensure that pupils are ready for transition to secondary school and are equipped with the skills to flourish and succeed as caring individuals.
