Our Progressive Science Curriculum
To ensure children are taught and remember the appropriate knowledge and skills relating to Science we have created a whole school progressive breakdown of the national curriculum expectations, this draws on the skills and knowledge being taught across all subject areas and hopes to contribute to the development of key concepts and themes in a deep and connected way.Subject Specific Vocabulary
Our Science curriculum will ensure all children are not only taught subject specific vocabulary but also provide opportunities for them to use such language within the correct context with confidence and fluency.
