Science Vision
Our vision is for children to see the clear link between Science and their place in the world. Science is a significant part of human culture and represents one of the pinnacles of human thinking capacity. It provides a laboratory of common experience for the development of language, logic, and problem-solving skills. In this ever-increasing world of social media and ‘fake news,’ it is essential that we teach our children about the role of research, evidence, and experimentation in understanding the world around us. Our pupils need to discover the concepts revealed through observing scientific phenomena and conducting experimental investigations for themselves. Then they are more likely to continue to study science and use that learning for work, for family and to contribute as informed citizens.
‘Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch that illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.’
Louis Pasteur
The aim is to facilitate a love of exploration and facilitate a career in the sciences to improve life and the future life of the planet.

Knowledge organisers
These knowledge organisers identify the key information that your child will need to have learned by the end of their learning challenge.
How do they help children?
They provide the essential knowledge that children need to cover in their learning challenges and can be used as a reminder prompt during lessons or revision tools.
How do they help parents?
They give you a clear understanding of what your child will be learning about each term and allow you to support and further their knowledge at home if you wish to.
We have developed our own Knowledge Organisers to support the delivery of the curriculum which contains a list of technical vocabulary with definitions.
