The national curriculum is followed and where possible links to other topics are made to deepen their learning. All classes follow a curriculum overview.

Teachers use a wide range of resources to plan and deliver their lessons, selecting and adapting the tasks that best suit their class’ needs for development regarding skills whilst still covering the National Curriculum.  Science lessons and teachers' planning provides adaptations, challenge and progression for all pupils.

Working scientifically skills are embedded throughout lessons and are developed through following the skills progression grid which provides a framework of expectation across year groups. Topics are taught at the appropriate times of year to best incorporate experiences and awareness of the concepts. Teachers have access to a wide variety of resources and scientific equipment for every topic to ensure their lessons are engaging, inclusive and embed scientific understanding. Teachers are also encouraged to incorporate outdoor learning wherever possible in order for pupils to develop an understanding of the world around them.

Teachers create a positive attitude to science within their classrooms and reinforce to all pupils that they are capable of achieving high standards in science. Independence is encouraged through investigating their own questions and testing their ideas.

Pupil's knowledge is assessed in lessons through questioning, observation and written work. At the end of each lesson, pupils and teachers use the triangle marking system to assess their understanding of the objective. At the end of each unit, teachers complete the Science Assessment Foundation Tracker. The working scientifically skills are also assessed throughout each unit, with teachers being mindful that not all skills will be able to be assessed in every unit.

Classrooms have a Science display, which acts as a working wall to enhance the teaching and learning. A love of Science is also fostered through links to other topics, Science days, school trips and visitors.
