Science

Our science curriculum covers the three main areas of learning - physical processes (physics), materials (chemistry) and life & living processes (biology). We use the Rising Stars Scheme for science teaching and learning.

Science lessons provide the perfect opportunity to stimulate and excite children’s curiosity and interest in the world. Practical science is an invaluable part of our science education.

Through exploration, children develop their understanding and knowledge of ‘how’, ‘why’ and ‘what’ happens in science investigations. 


Science Week gives children and parents the opportunity to experience a rich diversity of awe and wonder activities that fascinate and inspire.

In Early Years and Key Stage 1 there is a cross-curricular topic approach to teaching science which enables the children to make links and develop their understanding. 


In Key Stage 2 lessons are subject specific and focus on either chemistry, physics or biology.
One of the things we have been developing as a school is where food comes from. 


Many children in our locality do not have access to a garden and we plant, grow, harvest and eat (where possible) the fruits of our labour. 


We have also grown a variety of herbs and other vegetables. We are now saving up to buy a greenhouse; perhaps you could help?
