Curriculum Intent

Our curriculum is built on the understanding that science is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world, through observation and experiment.

Through our curriculum we aim to nurture curiosity and develop students’ thinking skills in an unfamiliar context, delivering the curriculum in a practical and engaging way, incorporating practical and problem solving skills.

We aim to take a holistic approach to all aspects of science and emphasise the importance of developing skills for science in the real world, with an overarching link to careers.

Staff encourage investment in the subject through an appreciation of the relevance and vast impact science has on the community and wider world, to enrich lives and inspire the next generation and their contributions to a STEM based society.
