Science

Intent

 

The intent of our Science curriculum is to

  • To secure an understanding of the world around them through investigation of scientific ideas and concepts.
  • To develop children’s curiosity by raising awareness of science all around them.
  • Enable children to make links between science and other subjects in order to secure their knowledge and deepen understanding.
  • Equip children with skills to work scientifically – different types of enquiry, working logically and sequentially.
  • Complement the characteristics of effective learning – children will think critically, play and explore and learn in active ways.

 

How Science links with our school values:

At St Vincent’s we aspire to make the learning ambitious for all learners. Our school curriculum includes the knowledge, skills and life experiences children need to thrive. Our learning is carefully planned and sequenced using the National Curriculum that can be found below:
