The Science curriculum is structured around the core disciplines of Biology, Physics, and Chemistry, with working scientifically integrated throughout all units of work. This focus on working scientifically ensures that children develop the necessary disciplinary knowledge and skills to think, experiment, and work like scientists, fostering a deep understanding of scientific processes and methods.

The key strands within the Science curriculum enrich and deepen the children’s understanding. Carefully chosen strands provide cumulative knowledge across key scientific areas, allowing children to build their knowledge over time. This progression enables them to engage with broader scientific concepts at a higher level, developing the ability to reason critically and articulate their thoughts clearly.

By studying these strands, children gain confidence in their scientific knowledge and are encouraged to engage in discussions on a range of scientific topics. These strands also help children make connections with other subjects, reinforcing the interconnectedness of learning across the curriculum.
