We aim to ensure that all pupils:

• Develop a keen interest in questioning and learning about the world around them through an engaging and fun curriculum centered on investigation and varied experiences.

• Are able to access and contribute to lessons, regardless of abilities, due to well-planned, inclusive lessons with a clear development of skills and knowledge.

• Gain a rich scientific vocabulary and are able to articulate their understanding of taught concepts.

• Develop a wider variety of skills linked to both scientific knowledge and understanding, and scientific enquiry/investigative skills.

• Can work effectively independently – trying out their own ideas and in a team – sharing ideas and roles.

We measure the impact of our curriculum through the following methods:

Marking pupils' work

Observations and discussions

Pupil focus groups

Book scrutiny
