We aim in our Science teaching for all children to:

• Be able to access the science content of the lesson and find Science enjoyable.
• Be encouraged to use their natural curiosity to develop a scientific approach to solving problems.
• Be able to build their self-confidence to enable them to work both independently and co-operatively with others.
• Understand that science relates to their lives, to the real world, to everyday situations and will provide employment opportunities for some of them in an increasingly scientific and technological world.
• Develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.
• Acquire a progressive understanding of scientific ideas, knowledge and skills.
• Be encouraged to develop a responsible and considerate attitude towards their work, with an awareness of themselves and others.
• Become effective communicators of scientific facts and data.
• Be encouraged to care for and enjoy the environment.
• Be curious and investigative across the Science curriculum.
