Intent

 

At St Andrew’s our intent for science is to ensure children understand scientific facts and processes related to ourselves and the world around us and are confident in explaining how and why things happen scientifically, using appropriate scientific language.  

We aim to produce scientists that are courageous and feel safe in taking a risk by providing an inclusive environment, so that they can reach their full potential through experiencing science in a variety of ways across the curriculum and within the wider world. We aim to do this by providing opportunities for children to experience science in the world around us, including in the local area. 

We believe our science curriculum will prepare our children by building science skills an knowledge year on year through a varied and inspiring curriculum.
