Our Science aim

Our science curriculum aims to develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena and an understanding of how the scientific community contributes to our past, present and future. ​

We want pupils to develop a complex knowledge of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, but also adopt a broad range of skills in working scientifically and beyond. Our Science curriculum is inclusive and meaningful, so all pupils experience the joy of science, and make associations between their science learning and their lives outside the classroom. Studying science allows children to appreciate how new knowledge and skills can be fundamental to solving arising global challenges. ​​

High quality teaching of Science

Our lessons:

•  Have a strong focus on developing knowledge alongside scientific skills across biology, chemistry and physics.​​
•  Develop curiosity and excitement about familiar and unknown observations. ​​
•  Challenge misconceptions and demystifying truths.​​
•  Provide continuous progression by building on practical and investigative skills across all units.​​
•  Develop critical thinking, with the ability to ask perceptive questions and explain and analyse evidence.​​
•  Support the development of scientific literacy using wide-ranging, specialist vocabulary. ​​

Working Scientifically

There are seven key Working Scientifically skills that we build upon year on year. These are:

• Asking questions
• Making predictions
• Setting up tests
• Observing and measuring
• Recording data
• Interpreting and communicating results
• Evaluating

Science News!

To celebrate Science Week, we were delighted to welcome Mr Gibson, a Science teacher in our Trust, who led some workshops for KS2. He demonstrated some very exciting experiments and talked to the children about working scientifically and safely. Mrs Lenton was very brave and agreed to have electricity pass through her - she looked very shocked!

Linking closely to our Science curriculum and the strand of 'Living things', we welcomed some new additions to the Millbridge family - this year's chicks! The children - and staff - are in love with them!
