SCIENCE

In Science, we want our children to be naturally curious about the world around them. Our curriculum has been developed by staff to ensure full coverage of the National Curriculum and to foster a sense of wonder about natural phenomena. We are committed to providing a stimulating, engaging and challenging learning environment.
Science is taught as part of the STEAM curriculum with teachers planning to make meaningful cross curricular links with science, maths, engineering and art.

Throughout our school children are encouraged to develop and use a range of working scientifically skills including questioning, researching and observing for ourselves.

STEMterprise

Farming STEMterprise projects take children through each stage of setting up a farm shop business: considering seasonality when deciding which crop to grow, growing their own ingredients, considering nutrition when designing their recipes, using market research to test their ideas out with potential consumers, working within a budget when buying additional ingredients, learning knife skills when making their products, calculating expected profit, designing responsible packaging and much more.
